Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 31, 2010 - DAY 1. along side spicy curry zucchini/kohlrabi pancakes with jalfrezzi curry veg. apple sauce in the nose. palate shows lots of different styled floral notes. lilac, potpourri. in the mouth, i'm starting to understand previous whisky comments. there is a lingering spice that contributes to that. palate also is a chameleon of minerality. a shape shifter on the palate, where as, so far the nose is rather consistent over the first two hours. after blowing off an initial funk.
DAY 2. color of golden going to almost orange. (almost like a flat pilsner) vs. the 2005, the 2004 has a substantially more evolved color. today the dry fermented botrytis note is starting to show in the nose. it would seem to me that this contributes to the 'whisky' palate references. reminds me of the sparkling mead that my brother made and then gifted at the holidays. there is a dry honey on the palate. whispers of incense.
