Community Tasting Notes 6

  March 21, 2024 - Defying age - lemon, straw, mineral, only the merest hint of nuttiness to suggest its age. Really vital and fresh, this almost seems like it hasn’t hit its stride yet.

  May 26, 2018 - From a very nice looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose displayed marzipan, vanilla, and citrus.
  
  This wine took 3+ hours of air to come around. It had nice richness, crisp acidity, and very nice length.
  
  While a touch oaky, this wine was a noticeable step up from my last bottle. This will last for at least 5 years

  October 12, 2013 - From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a gold center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose displayed apricot, apple, and honey.
  
  In the mouth, this was a bit awkward for the first couple hours. It was big, ripe and rich but with substantial acidity in the finish. Unfortunately, it also had a slightly overripe/oxidized note that would not dissipate.
  
  While this bottle looked to be in excellent condition, the wine was clearly on the downward slope. This, suggests drinking these ASAP.
