Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Friday, October 1, 2021 - Prior bottle was nearly a year ago and WOW is this wine showing well. Nose remains essentially the same with white peach, white pineapple, minerals and acidity, but feels like it's been dialed up a notch or four.... Perhaps it was a question of getting the serving temperature just right, but the nose was noticeably more intense than my prior bottle. Medium bodied, perhaps even a touch more, clearly showing more depth than my prior bottle. White peach (bright) along with white apple (more rounded) upfront, evolving to mixed tropical notes through the middle (white pineapple, mango) along with tart, but yellow peach. Mid-body shows more complexity than previously. Backside shows excellent acidity along with citrus qualities. As much fruit as the mid-body has, the acidity and tart notes balanced it (and then some) virtually effortlessly. Finish shows notably good length with lingering floral, citrus and mineral qualities. Strongly tempted to move this wine up in score, but I think that can wait until the acidity has integrated just a bit more and allowed the fruit to show more complexity and expression. This wine is clearly showing exceptionally well at present, but is clearly on the upswing. Fantastic QPR. If you can, I'd hold a bit longer because as outstandingly as this wine showed tonight, it's potential is even higher. I'll wait until at least Fall 2022 for my next bottle (if I buy a few more) or Q1/Q2 2023 if I don't.
