Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 2, 2021 - Fresh and deep yellow-gold color. Muted nose of wood, alcohol, and faint citrus. Palate shows wood, citrus, and off-putting vinyl notes that do not appeal and never completely blow off. Excessive and annoying heat on mid-palate and finish, with juicy acidity, citrus and a bit of flint and sea spray. Interesting story here, I wanted to like this wine, but there seems to be very little substance beneath the alcohol and the oak, and this bottle would not have come together with further aging. A very poor value, for my palate. 13% abv. Maybe 80 points if I was scoring; but even though this bottle was not plainly flawed, I'll refrain from scoring it.
