Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 16, 2022 - I was a bit worried opening the bottle because the cork was slighly loose, but all turned out well. I let it breath in the bottle for 45 minutes. Nice light golden color. Aromas of peaches, lemon, apple, toast, wirh hints of honey and oak, maybe a touch of vanilla. The wine is well-structured, and complex, with a nice balance of acidity, fruit/spice, sugar, and alcohol. The flavors which appear are pear, lemon, toast, peaches, some kind of nut (walnut ?), with a bit of apple, vanilla, oak (barely), and honey in the background. This is a full-bodied wine with a long-ish finish. I like the smooth, slightly creamy quality. I served it with a ravioli florentine with bay scallops & baby-clams in a buttered-based clam sauce (with artichokes & onions mixed in). This wine was a much-appreciated gift. My actual rating is 92.75. Delicious !! It seems to be at its peak - I suggest drinking it now. Cheers !
