Community Tasting Note

Tony Ling Likes this wine:

Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - PNP into Luopai Wuguan universal glass, shaped like Zalto Universal ("Root" day). Clear, deep golden to the eyes.

Sweet honey notes upfront with very ripe golden apples and apricots, even some pineapples. Indeed quite 'lactic' for all the aromas. Some florals and roasted herbs. Reminds me of a slightly more refined style of the Sancerre by Sebastien Riffault tasted before

Really nice texture on palate, good acidity too. The minerality comes through towards the backend, but alcohol is high (15.5%) and this shows on the finish - a little too warming to my liking.

Utterly different from the 2001 tasted before with unique dried mandarin peels and truffle aromas (without notes). To me this is 90-91 points but I think this wine is destined to receive bifurcated reviews.

Will observe over longer term.
