Community Tasting Note

johnrm Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 17, 2020 - Citrus fruit on the nose with almost toasty character (but only as it warmed). Pronounced lemon flavour with lemon zest and lemon curd flavours. The fruit developed more tropical notes and became ‘sweeter’ as it warmed and opened over a couple of hours. Much better above fridge temperature. Soft, buttery oak with good acidity and some minerality on the late palate. Quite long with perhaps a hint of melon at the end. More restrained than I remember from previous tastings but a wine to sit with as it develops and becomes rounder in the glass - not a wine that shows all at first sip. Excellent with pan-fried halibut (with and without Hollandaise sauce).
I agree with the previous review in many respects, not least the importance of time (after opening) and temperature. I also got the marzipan/almond stone flavours after 3h and when closer to room temperature. A class act 92+
