Community Tasting Note

Bagwhat Likes this wine:

Friday, January 5, 2024 - Popped and poured into a Glasvin Universal from cellar temperature. Relevant stats are in the MFW note.

The nose is relatively meek, a bit of petrol and a lot of herb masking most of the fruit. Cooling the wine actually worked a bit, although it could also have been air. Still though, this is predominantly herbal, with some wet stones, all masking little peeks of golden fruit, especially pineapple. The palate is also at first a little flat, but elements are there. Similar to the nose, a little chill +/- air evens things out. The fruit profile is dominated by peach and pineapple. It still feels a little heavy in the mouth, but the acid does bring up the rear, with a character that mimics the sour tang of a canned pineapple. This isn’t to say it’s bad at all, that’s just the clear note I’m getting out of it. The finish is medium in length and herby. This is very simple and enjoyable, and goes nicely with flavor forward foods. But I’m not sure if it’s vintage or what, but it doesn’t have the lifted, nervous zip of my favorite rieslings from more recent vintages. I have a mini vertical of this fuder, and will see how they fare.
