Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 28, 2023 - 1st from a six-pack. A leaking, bulging capsule and a level 2.5cm below cork, which broke upon extraction - no surprises there, considering the leaking wine having compromised the cork's structural integrity. Both a green and golden tint to the medium yellow colour. White peach nose, with brown herbs, brown sugar, wax, crystallized pineapple and a lifted citrus note later on. Impressive. Then I looked at the notes made by respected tasters and one of them, Jancis Robinson in 2005 hit the nail on the head in particularising the brown I had detected - it was hazelnut cream! Yes! That's what it was, essentially. Bravo, JR!! Lovely weighted mouth with a whitish peach front followed by an apricot middle and a long pungent grapefruit finish. No obvious prädikat sweetness, as the sugars have morphed. Day 3 from a half: mint just before the lengthy, creamy finish. Some have been enjoying their last bottles, but I have just very much enjoyed my first. No fade and plenty in the tank. Between fine and fine plus.
