Sunday, May 28, 2023 - Memorial Day Weekend, Day 2: The Great Gatsby: Aromas of dark and deep yellow fruits, with a gentle prickliness.
Deep and intense fruits on the palate. Fruit coated minerals with bitter honey, and a gentle prickliness.
Good as usual but was beat out by a notch with the Aubert Lauren.

I recently learned why my throat/under jaw tingles after eating pineapples, and why I use the word prickly: under a microscope, the structure of pineapples contain a LOT of needle-like structures made from crystals made from calcium oxalate that cause irritation in the mouth, which is what leads to the tingling sensation. Coincidentally, I use prickly to describe chards that mostly have pineapple characteristics. I think it works quite well 🤓 (also, I’m not saying chards with pineapple descriptors have microscopic needles in them lol)
Have you ever chewed on raw honeycomb? That’s where I’m getting bitter honey from, it’s actually quite nice! 🤌🏻
