Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 30, 2022 - Medium golden yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, pears & lemon/lime citrus notes with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle & minerals, flinty & stony, some hazelnut notes, spices & a hint of vanilla/toasty oak in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth texture, ripe flavors of apples, pears & lemons/limes with butterscotch, stony, minerals & a hint of toasty oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but has the fruit & structure to continue with its development for a few more additional years if cellared properly. Very good QPR when found at discount!
