Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - Pale straw yellow. Nose: Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, nutty, straw. No florals or herbs, the nose is all about the Semillon save some Sauvingnon Blanc stone. Palate: medium body, lush and well integrated mouthfeel. Noticeable but not bright (though not dull either) acidity. Seamless. Meyer lemon again along with honey, almond, and a touch of condensed milk. White pepper. Slight touch of violet. Finish: persists for quite some time showing a mirror image of the palate. The white pepper does step up on the back end. Overall this wine, which was my first introduction to great white wine, does not disappoint in a warm vintage. I know Buty says this wine can age a decade, but I doubt it has the heft to take on enough interesting dynamics to wait that long. This has another year to be enjoyed in its current vivacity before it starts to mellow into middle age. If it had greater weight and sweetness I'd suggest holding bottle for a few years, but as it sits I recommend drinking up.
