Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 2, 2018 - White wine doesn't get much better than this. It's as complex as a red with bouquet that broods deeply with pungent earth and soars high with sharp gooseberry, lemon merengue, key lime, dust of Brett, plastic, straw bed of calf, lemon rind and cave musk.
It's perfect from mid palate to finish with sharp Brett spice, gooseberry, under ripe black fruit with ripe lemon. It grips the tongue with more sips and builds with denser character and texture.

Pairing with food might be a waste but interesting to try. Fish wasn't that great, but fatty soft cheese worked well. My next bottle I'll try with smoked salmon, onions and humbolt fog. I think it would compliment raw salmon, but I preferred it just by itself.
This was a joy to sip over 6 hours. Needs to be warm at 65 not fridge cold.
Could hardly get myself to leave a glass for overnight.
9.5/10

12 hours later from glass left out overnight there was no detectable change. This real wine was outstanding. It should keep in bottle for decades.
