Community Tasting Note

stet Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 22, 2023 - Color: light gold
Nose: there is a fairly clear oak presence with toasted nuts and vanilla hints, and perhaps coconut. Fruit takes a backseat to that with perhaps a dominance of green apple and lemon. There is fennel pollen here, as well as a rich butter note. With patience (hard to have it!) There are more citrus hints that come out with mandarin and Buddha hand zest for instance. Quite pretty
Palate: medium or medium-high acidity with a full body and a very thick texture. Confirms the nose with also some clear bitterness
Finish: medium with bitterness

Atypical, hard to slot in a clear classic influence catefory. I think the Pinot Blanc is here to help with acidity but the fine citrus notes do remind me of it. Big body and oily, but also kept fresh enough and in balance by the other elements. Just an excellently made wine. I do wish for a little more acidity and i wonder how this does in warm years. Recommend 2h decant, cool room temp
