Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 10, 2013 - Brought to dinner, finished later at home. Deep color but not yet gold. Aromatic nose that is very different from most whites we see: olive, brine, honey and saline. Taste is varied as well with toasted nuts, nectarine, honey, butterscotch and salt. Crazy complex, nice vibrancy and acid. Very cool bottle of wine.

Nice TN. May I suggest to try 98 in a few years?
Seems to be much better even...
Cheers,
