Community Tasting Note

scorbett Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 17, 2023 - Nose: a panoply of apple (bruised apples, apple skins, apple sauce, apple pie filling complete w/ cinnamon), faint butterscotch or burnt honey.

Palate: waxy citrus confit; unctuous attack but a clipped finish (yet the pith/chalk impression lingers as a grip after the flavors quickly vanish). There is also a deep but tightly-wound salty-sweet component, like salted caramel, as a backbone.

Having read so much about this producer and vineyard, and given what I paid for this bottle, I'm left wanting. Solid and intriguing wine for sure, by my personal dollars and attention are perhaps better spent elsewhere.

Probably just way too young to capture the magic?

Edit: an hour or so later -- starting to show like a top Norman cider but with near-infinite complexity... okay, now we're talking. Happy to be proven wrong.
