Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 2, 2018 - Friday night in the library. Tasted blind. Pop and poured. Drank over 2+ hours.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of honey, hot stones minerality, citrus lemon, apricot. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of honey, citrus lemon, pineapple, creamy apricot, hot stones minerality, streak of green herbs, bitter almond. Medium+ finish.
Tough guessing this wine. Was going from Chenin Blanc to Pinot Gris. On hindsight, the bitter almond note should have given a clue for Italian indigenous varietal.
Can still go on to develop more honey character with a bit more age. Nice minerality from the volcanic soil.
