Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 9, 2016 - Green fruit, floral and stone flint/stone qualities on the nose. Medium bodied (8.0% ABV) with very strong and lively acidity. Peach and melon upfront, backed by tropical fruit notes behind (pineapple, orange, passion fruit) but overlaid with vibrant acidity and tart notes of grapefruit, lemon and lime). Wine has plenty of fruit and richness to it and at this very young stage the acidity balances that out and then some. Unsurprisingly similar overall flavor profile to the 2012 version, but the 2013 has more acidity at this stage and I think ultimately, the 2013 will show as more tropical than the 2012. Personally, I like trying a bottle of spatlese young to enjoy how the acidity and the fruit play off each other, all the while knowing the true fruit complexity will come to the fore in another few years.
