Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Tuesday, December 19, 2017 - Prior bottle was just over 14 months ago and this wine continues to show extremely well. White tropical fruit, minerals and floral qualities on the nose. Medium bodied and opened at 46F, warming to 52F. Fruit profile was very similar to the prior bottle with a mix of peach and green melon upfront and then adding white tropical fruit behind (especially pineapple and tangerine). Excellent acidity in the background along with notable grapefruit as well as lemon and lime qualities. As expected, the 2013 seems to be moving more towards the tropical end of the spectrum while the 2012 is more orchard fruit based. However, due to the higher acidity in the 2013 and the way the different fruit notes contrast with each other as well as blend with the acidity, it feels like there may be more complexity in the 2013. Has several years of improvement left and a long life beyond. I'll try and be patient and save my last bottle for Fall 2019 at the earliest.
