Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 12, 2008 - wow. Is this overpriced.
nose: butter, but faint. not particularly aromatic. some unripe peach in there too, perhaps.
palate: kind of flat. Alcohol obvious. smooth mouthfeel is nice, but essentially devoid of personality. Can't believe this sells for $37 at costco.
SEcond night: perhaps I was a bit harsh last night (or my palate was off...whatever the reason). Tonight, well-chilled, this wine is smooth, buttery, but with central lemon and tangerine notes. Much better package. The alcohol is still too dominant, but a pleasant sipper nonetheless. I'd go from yesterday's 83 to about 85 points. But really, it doesn't matter. I still think it's overpriced.
