Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 19, 2012 - Seems to have good raw materials, but for current drinking.....too young, or at least that's my hope. The acidity is quite bracing / tangy, and for my palate seems out of balance at this point. This is not a fruit bomb.....right now, it's an acid bomb. I applaud its subtlety re: oak and not overly buttered. But I'd prefer to see more fruit, even though it's young, to balance out the acidity. Underneath all that acid, this seems to be some pretty good juice. But tonight, this is going to require a Prilosec before I go to bed. Hiding the rest of these away for a couple years in the hopes that it develops a more rounded character, with acidity folding into the fruit that I hope is there. I won't rate this at present, because my views, at least in terms of current drinking, are well below the average here. For my own personal reference....85 points give or take....maybe a touch less than that.
