Community Tasting Notes 18

  April 18, 2018 - Pale lemon colour. Creamy, lactic pear-lemon nose, a touch unclean. Peachy taste, but too much bitterness. Maybe an off bottle, so unrated. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Sainsbury's, on offer at £16].

  February 4, 2018 - lovely nose - bready and lemony
  bitter orange notes
  Showing lots of autolysis character very nutty, walnuts, long finish
  If i'm being critical, it is perhaps a bit lacking in the middle but I love that finish. Might also be a bit too oxidative for some
  16.5/20

  October 1, 2017 - I picked a bottle with an older-style label (the newer ones have a banner with "Winemaker's Selection" or some such). Virtually colourless but a lovely smell, round and creamy, tangy and fruity. Great taste, perhaps this has enough bottle age for the acidity to have become a little softened. Excellent value. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Sainsbury's, on offer at £18].

  December 10, 2015 - Work Wine Tasting - Spain (Home): Three years post purchase aging. Crisp, clean and fresh, just starting to develop a creamy edge, but primarily this is still about chalky citrus cut and line. ***
