Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 20, 2017 - My first bottle in just over two years and it continues to show quite well. Opened at 50F, warming to 54F which probably allowed the fruit to be a little more expressive than previously but also resulted in the acidity coming off somewhat less prominently. Soft peach and other orchard fruits on the nose. Medium bodied (9% ABV) with excellent fruit-based richness but missing that distinctive flinty, mineral crunch of acidity. Peach and soft apple upfront, then adding richer more tropical notes (pineapple, mango, tangerine). The acidity is still very much present in the background, lending good structure, but not as much contrast as previously. Retains the tart, citrus based notes of lemon and green apple towards the back along with acidity and mineral notes on the finish. This wine is moving out of its acidity-dominant youth and with the overall richness and current level of fruit, should continue to show well over the next few years.
