Community Tasting Notes 3

  May 19, 2024 - Picked up from the 2023 VDP auction - what a nice bottle. The cork was a little dodgy but the Durand pulled it through in one piece. Golden yellow as you would expect with something with this much age, but despite being an Auslese it's not as heavy on the palate as it would suggest. Very prominent notes of menthol and orange on the palate, and very refreshing to drink. Was a real treat to try this and if available wouldn't hesitate to grab more!

  April 27, 2024 - Method: universal glass; chilled; at tasting dinner (and it was wine #11, so my notes might not be the best)
  
  Nose: apricot, tangerine marmalade, light petrol, unidentified tertiary note(s)
  
  Palate: apricot, tangerine; finish of light ginger and mineral; medium- sweetness; medium- body; medium+ zesty acidity
  
  Overall thoughts: This was showing even better than I expected as it's still rather vibrant. Nice tertiary notes on the nose and maybe starting to creep in on the palate make this extra interesting. This is in a great spot, but I don't think there's a rush to drink this. Great wine!

  April 21, 2024 - 8.5 % abv. AP 13. Poured at 50° F. Positioned late in a meal cycle.
  Stunning bouquet. Maraschino; almond/pruneaux; savory einkornbrot;
  Great clarity of flavor rarely coincides with such intensity of fraise/piña and appetizing, racy, bitterness. That latter front reclines immediately into barn-cured green tea, rhubarb, lime glycerin, and lemon peel fruiting mushroom bodies. Intensely sour apple sugar. Broiled in decades of mint sunshine.

  24 hours later, it thrives. Broth twig sap; translucent red soil; pistachio; strawberry.
