Community Tasting Note

CarpeVinoDiem Likes this wine:

Tuesday, January 8, 2013 - Perfect provenance (PWSF auction bottle)
No notes taken.
2/3 to top lt. moisture cork with lt. embedded crystal sign.

Look: Clear to barely lt. yellow '05
Nose: Salt, honey, slate, lt. pineapple, lt. vanilla.
Body: 2% milk mouth weight

Taste: Salt, calcium, honey, slate, pineapple, lt. butter, lt. vanilla.

Very clean, good acidity. At one point there was a lovely spike mid-palate of pure slate rock that developed after 30 minutes. This has always been a fave moscatel of mine.

Went great with shrimp soup.

While not as impressive as the one from a Magnum I had in the past, this still is an Excellent food wine (or even sip alone or with oysters).

91 pts.

Showing great now. Unless in a Magnum, probably she's not gonna gain a lot from more cellaring (unless you want more butter and toffee notes for the price of probably some nice acidity).
