Community Tasting Note

Putnam Weekley Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 14, 2021 - Drunk alongside a 2013 Radikon Ribolla in an unserious attempt to stir controversy.
EYE: bronze. No haze. NOSE: mellifluous. Sweet, nutty elixir. Brightly peach and plum. Swimsuits in a hamper. Wood ear mushrooms. No VA.
MOUTH: Landscape-width texture, combed, pending golden hour. It’s restrained at first, then after chewing, it ruptures along frayed seams that taste husky and tannic. Pecan pith. It’s at this point that it relinquishes glass-dense, golden fruit bodies bearing juicy acidity. The drink is governed by its terracotta textures and structures. The fruit is muscular and pressurized, but it never turns sweet or tart. Cinnamon candy shell. Mint. This is a poised, polite creature. It has authority and uncompromising challenges to offer for habituated drinkers of late-disgorged Champagne, mature Meursault, or pirate stashes of golden rancio. It is cultured and fine. Remember to chew it. I find it fit for keeping another decade. 96 points.
TIME: I left the bottle resealed on the table over night. It’s 99% of what it was yesterday, the luxuriant sheen of fruit satin is a ever so slightly stressed, though not yet ready to crack. Pretty impressive for an eleven year-old.
