Community Tasting Note

89 Points

Monday, January 21, 2013 - Bright with a deep gold colour, and visible viscosity. On the nose, this is youthful and forward, showing tropical pineapple notes, supported by crisp green apple aromas, citrus, ripe pear, fresh cream, butterscotch, vanilla, brioche and smoky gunpowder. On the palate, full-bodied and textured, with concentration and richness quite evident. Tropical and a little bit oaky, but still balanced. Fresh, but no malolactic fermentation means that the acid is a bit hard. Alcohol is in check, and length is quite long as well. Not subtle, but fun.
