Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 10, 2020 - A very nice and graceful wine. Sour cherries on a foundation of intense minerality, with hints of mint, anise, strawberry, citrus, and, briefly, roasted nuts. Pleasant aftertaste, good acidity. This wine is all about freshness and liveliness, and it's unlikely to benefit from age. Should remain lovely for another 4 years or so, possibly a very little longer. [I tasted this wine over three nights, the bottle simply stoppered and kept cool. To my surprise, the third night it was ever so slightly better than on the first two--the wine had put on just a little more body, without any loss of grace, a black pepper note that I hadn't noticed before emerged, and the aftertaste was just a little fuller and longer. Based on this I've raised the score from the original 93 points, and have also extended the drinking window. I think now that the wine would benefit from a year in the cellar--but the difference is very small, so you shouldn't hesitate to drink now if you feel like it!]
