Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - Similar in color to the 2009, if not even a shade lighter in the glass; nose is more open and also more complex, with a nice minerality, even a saline nuance.
Somewhat straightforward on the palate; also light-bodied. The additional year has given the 2009 a little more oomph, but neither wine is ready for prime time consumption. These were both popped & poured, and I'll revisit a glass of each in a day or two to see if there is any noticeable development.

Still quite monolithic on the palate - both this and the 2009 are still drinking like very young wines in need of more time, but the potential in both is fascinating!
