Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 7, 2024 - {screwcap, 11.5%} Pale straw. Hard to make much of this, to be honest. Still absurdly young it's mostly just a grassy impression, not even especially acidic. Light-bodied, maybe with a bit of rockmelon or faint hint of lime juice. The palate is quite even, but also faint, and the finish dies away leaving fleeting hints of texture without much flavour. It's so neutral you wonder if it'll ever evolve; will take twenty years at least. It was widely acclaimed as a very good vintage for reds; not sure that the top years for reds & whites ever coincide much. Still no real point in drinking it now!
