Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 29, 2024 - Popcorn toast note I also noticed in the 2020 Estate chardonnay. Bright red fruit, lighter in depth, but still features some nice herbal aromatics. Gritty tannins with bright acidity. Quite frankly, a touch shrill. There is definitely some iodine on the finish, kind of like a Laphroaig. I'm not confident enough in my ability to avoid psychological bias to say this is definitively tainted, but I definitely enjoyed the '19 more, although this is still quite good.

Leaving the last few drops in the glass definitely reveals some ashtray / cigar butt smell, which makes me rethink my prior statement. This has smoke in it.
