Community Tasting Notes 6

  April 26, 2022 - Darkish in color, suggesting skin contact. Sort of a spiced apple nose, as opposed to citrus or tropical notes. In prior vintages I've found a certain degree of funkiness but didn't here. This is clean, focussed on the white fruit end of the flavor spectrum, a bit like baked apple. Not really long or complex but nice. For me, pushes the value proposition right up to the edge.

Medium-bodied, silky and stony, lots of mid-palate fruit, then it fades to beautiful floral, herbal and stony tones. Juicy fruit bounces back for a second on the finish, subtle tannins take precedence over the gentle acids and carry delicate herbal and mineral notes long. This should improve for a couple years, maybe much longer. Lovely!

  March 8, 2022 - On Day 1, nice deep gold, I guess from the skin contact. I got almond butter with a touch of honey and ripe lemon (out of an universal glass). On the palate it was pleasantly bitter, med body+, really nice acidity with a silky finish. Paired well with my spaghetti carbonara. I couldn’t stop drinking this.
  
  Day 2: out of a burgundy glass, I’m definitely getting some sweet fruity notes on the nose: golden apple and pink grapefruit. Some petroleum. Don’t get much of the nuttiness anymore. Again, silky and acidic on the palate. Mildly astringent finish.

  December 21, 2021 - Pale gold in color; m- intensity aromas of lemon, yellow apple, almonds, slate, blossom, beeswax (a bit of heft anyway, time on lees?). Dry, nice acid, m- alc. and med bodied. Similar flavors as on nose, plus a bit of pepper. Med long finish of bitter almond and palette cleansing acid. Nice little wine!
