Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 14, 2023 - My first Txakoli and there was a few surprises.
First, the colour is deep golden.
Then, the nose is as aromatic and explosive as I expected. There yellow apple, maybe kumquat. But then there are also very pronounced lees ageing notes. I get cottage cheese or slight umami, maybe distant hazelnut. Together these notes blend in something banana-like that shines against minerality backbone. Very complex nose for the price point.
On the palate, it has high acidity but also medium+ body which is surprising but exciting. I get more of the lees notes and maybe some pear and citrus. Minerality as well.
Finish isn’t very exciting but the acidity does linger a long time.
8+/18
