Community Tasting Note

94 Points
Saturday, April 3, 2021 - Light-medium gold color. Drank a glass plus over an hour. Explosive bead, dense nose, caramelized fresh air, toasted, almond nuthorns, melon and pear. The palate is full and rich, yet still lifted, fuzzy minerality, tart green apple, pear, and white melon, toffee, and a nice finish of toast. Loved it, in a great spot. 94+pts and maybe underscored.

How long do you think this will hold up. Have five bottles but I am not in a hurry. Dave

Obviously storage is a big factor too. Drinking one every 12 to 24 months will give you a chance to change your mind if things are slipping. There's always bottle variation to consider in your decisions too.

Thanks for the excellent answer. Since I am 72 will spread them out about every one to two years. Dave
