Community Tasting Note

eudora Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 28, 2024 - This wine is way way past its expiration date … but what an amazing experience. First the age-related aspects: not exactly oxidized, but definitely nutty. Fruit has faded.

Now the positives: still structured with lots of acidity and to keep everything stitched together. Honey, peach, pear notes, lemon curd. Perfectly balanced. Voluptuous mouth feel.

Now the odd: no chance I ever peg this as a Sauvignon Blanc if I did not know it coming in. This is an unusual wine, and the only one I can compare it to is Melka, from Napa, with similar structure and texture (but more of a tropical fruit array).

Overall - I would not seek this wine on the secondary market as my bottle was perfectly stored and still showed signs of senescence… but if I stumbled on one, I would snap it up. It’s unique, masterful, delicious, and a homage to a legend.
