Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 2, 2012 - First sip was jarring. While there was no viable spritz, it had the bracing scrape of seltzer on the palate; having read previous reviews, I was still surprised how obvious the taste of the refermentation was, in-spite of the lack of visual evidence. I poured a glass and gave it a 1/2 hour. It still seemed crisp. However, over the few hours I slowly worked through the bottle, I began to question if it was not all just intense acid and minerality. It really developed a nice, nuanced, aged fruitiness, black cherries, leather, even a touch of caramel on the nose. Very dramatic transformation, if not as much in the wine as my palate through the evening. The first sip I was afraid it was a drain-pour, 5 hours later, I was very sad to see it go and thought it was absolutely remarkable. How to score this? Last impressions...
