Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 7, 2015 - Inspired to open one by Rieslingfan's recent TN. Bottle #2 after a massively corked first bottle. This was well worth the second effort.

This has a beautiful nose. It's pure and deep, but still playful and lithe with a sense of perfectly ripe fruit playing well with soil and acid. Everything is in great balance here, truly seamless. this has cherry and raspberry fruit with the roundness of '02, but without any fat. It's sappy and intense but light on its feet. Another cliche coming, but this has power without weight and it comes across with grace and a sense of effortlessness. There's a great mix of fruit, earth and acid, where all the parts add up to a greater whole. Very long with an herbal almost basil like freshness that adds to the fruit, earth, and acid and it all leaves your mouth watering and wanting more. All in all, this has developed into a deceptively easy to drink, thought provoking wine. Beautiful. In a great spot right now with plenty of time in hand.
