Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 18, 2011 - Tech G's Birthday Bash (Reno, NV): Deep yellow color... aromatic intensity out the wazoo... very ripe aromas for gv of tropical fruits, flowers, minerals... no barrique notes, no malo notes, no botrytis... on the palate the wine has plenty of acidity to keep the huge midpalate in check, the highish ETOH is also well contained. Great balance, very good length, insane intensity, great complexity... not a "finesse" wine per say but delivers its power with good finesse, a fine, full texture, good expression of place. Easily "outstanding" wine for me that borders on "extraordinary"witht he caveat that is a ripe, full throttle style of gv... really good example of a wine with tons of minerality and tons of fruit aromas... drinks well now but has structural elements to age 10+ years. Awesome.
