Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 20, 2012 - Quite restrained on the nose at first, but after some time to warm and breathe this put on a fair bit of weight. Aromas of ripe banana, sea spray, oyster shells, lemon zest, and charred oak on the nose. Nice lemon citrus on the palate, along with toasted oak, toffee, saline, and a firm showing of minerality. Long length finish ending on notes of charred oak and lemon zest. There was a sherried note hinting at some slight oxidation but it was quite minor and did not detract from the enjoyment of this wine. There's a great firm acidic backbone which brings some bite to the finish. A couple more years to help integrate the oak would do this well. Very good
