Community Tasting Note

Member 592 Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 22, 2023 - The cork was not in pristine condition which I found surprising given the wine is in bottle only a few years. One half of it was quite wet and some wine leaked through it, so there was a bit of rot under the capsule. Thankfully the bottle itself apppeared untainted.

Pale yellow-greenish colour. Interesting, fine complex nose with vegetal-herbal-grassy notes as compared to fruitiness. I find it impossible to ascribe it to any singular grape variety (which makes sense as it is a blend of many). This is continued on the palate. Dry wine. Good acidity, has freshness. Healthy concentration and length, but not a monster of either. A fine wine.

Has a unique style and taste. In my opinion definitely more suited to go with a proper meal rather than as an aperitif drink. My recommendation is to drink this wine really cold, straight from the fridge and put in an ice bucket for serving.

Edit: Some of the earlier notes mention fruitiness which I could not detect in my sample. Perhaps the cork did damage or unduly speeded up development of my bottle after all. I'll be curious what my remaining bottles will hold, hoping their corks are normal/better.
