Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 1, 2024 - Screwcap removed unremarkably. A bright and full yellow colour, with some very minor green tints. Peach with some lemon on the nose to start, but close to an hour later, it showed something unusual - like dark camphor and baked pastry - in a twisted sort of a way. A half-hour later and the lemon seemed to have swapped places with the peach. The mouth was properly ripe and weighty, with good length and a nice tingling acidic finish, carrying the thought that the spritz of a year ago was still there until recently. (Well, there was still some there, as the slight fizz created by an aggressive pouring action was easily visible.) But the palate was not quite as vigorous as it was a year ago. A little flatter. Tending to dry on the finish, with an aftertaste that reminded me of the flavour of dry grass.

Day 2 from a half: the nose was a more fragrant lemon ahead of peach, with camomile in support, having dispensed with the unusual camphor-pastry note of the 1st day. The mouth was more vibrant too, with spritz now detected on the tongue, as well as revealing a proper acidic spine. Despite some creamy flavours on the front, it became more streamlined and slender and was the better for it. Yet, it did seem to want to unravel on the finish. Dry, grippy aftertaste. Very good and thought-provoking, but best to drink now.
