Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 25, 2024 - My first whiff and taste of a Goodfellow PN. The bouquet at the pop triggered an immediate childhood memory of when my Dad would take me to the burger place down the street (Connals in Pasadena, if you're wondering) and we would get Boston shakes. Strawberry shake, ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, chocolate sprinkles, and a cherry on top. I get the same profile and satisfaction out of this, 50+ years on :)
To be a little more technical and useful, the color is a lightly saturated ruby with a tiny haze and a clear meniscus. No sediment. The nose is generous, and the palate is equally delectable. There is a wonderful play around the acidity that involves the mineral and chalky aspects to create this bit of creaminess. It's a beautiful thing when a wine so delicate and elegant can show this depth and structure at 9 yrs old.
4+13+18+9= 94
