Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 4, 2017 - Antiquum Farm Wine Dinner (New Jersey, USA): Many others, I'm sure, have had the experience where at the end of a wonderful meal with family and/or friends and lots of great wine, you head down to the cellar to get the coup de gras for the evening....but lo and behold in the morning after several cups of coffee you notice a bottle you don't quite remember opening and wish maybe you hadn't???
Well, with my wife's Pear crème brûlée, I apparently did bring up and open one of my prized dessert wines...one of 2 remaining. Fortunately, there was about a third of the 375ml bottle remaining which I kept in the refrigerator until I could re-taste it about 9 days later. Well, this was one of the 3 or 4 best sweet wines I have had, even after 9 days! The wine is a bright, sparkling, golden yellow. The nose is absolutely intoxicating even when colder than ideal, with ripe grilled peach, honey, toast, white flowers, hibiscus, caramel and ripe apricots. There is tremendous structure and texture to the wine with layer upon layer of flavor and huge bright acidity. In addition to the flavors mirroring the nose there is poached pear, a gorgeous roasted nut (almond?) flavor and length that goes on and on in the finish. Wonderful!!
