Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - Bud's 70th at Ortega Fish Shack (Ortega Fish Shack, Wellington, New Zealand): Light straw yellow/gold color. Extraordinary nose of oxidation, butterscotch, smoke, earth, leather and bottle age unfolding on the palate in a very high acid wine that echos many of the constituent aromas suggested by the bouquet. The nose deepened and became more complex over the half hour it sat in the glass, while the flavors remained tart, yet possessing a smooth texture. With the requisite accompaniments of aged Comte and fresh walnuts, this wine provided a spectacular match. A perfect nose allied to outstanding flavors and a great food and wine match = 97 - 98 points for me.
