Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 3, 2018 - Golden color. This is fully mature. The nose is butterscotch and motor oil. The palate is very smooth and almost creamy with flavors of butter scotch, almond, minerals and pear. This is very well integrated but a relatively straight forward wine. Drink up.

  October 5, 2018 - This has aged nicely and is in prime aged drinking window. This is a golden color with a ring of orange. The nose has a hint of oxidation on the nose and is ripe pear, leaves. The palate is well balanced and complex with interesting notes of pear, streak of honeysuckle, autumn leaves and a bit of stewed tropical fruit. It lack a bit of integration and focus but it is an interesting wine. Drink up.

  June 21, 2015 - Just a little heavy and sweet, but everything is in balance. This is starting to take on tertiary characteristics; the honey is taking on an old and woolly smell. Nice stuff.

  April 24, 2013 - Took a few hours to open up, but it was beautiful when it did. A little on the sweet side but not at all gloppy. Very nice.
