Community Tasting Notes 6

• William Kelley Likes this wine:

  September 21, 2023 - Kalin's 1991 Cuvée LV is still showing brilliantly, offering up aromas of white currants, buttered popcorn, ripe white peaches and honeysuckle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy palate that's rich but lively, with bright acids and a discreetly residually sweet finish.

  February 22, 2009 - Very buttery and a little fizz. Back palate was butter toffee. Very nice.

  February 21, 2009 - Cool vs Warm Climate: Chardonnay, Pinot and Syrah (Smash Wine Bar (Seattle)): My notes are probably far from subjective for this wine: I'd been looking forward to opening this for quite some time.
  nose: sweet butter notes, some smokiness and then after an hour or so open, some mushroom dust came through too.
  palate:beautifully balanced, with a white pepper finish. Definitely slightly burnt caramel flavors on the midpalate. It was full and rich, but not overly so. Not the in-your-face butterbomb from CA. More restrained, but still flaunting it's stuff. Super elegant, this was my WOTN by miles.
