Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 5, 2016 - My bottle, purchased on release. WOW. The nose is explosive and made me swoon - this is why we drink White Burgundy. It had matchstick, deep brown spices (nutmeg, allspice), some lemon drop, something sweet from integrated oak - vanilla or brulee. The palate shows the same elements with more citrus, some more lemon, maybe a bit of lime? Some minerality as well - but the major players are the rich fruit and the creamy brulee sweetness. This is completely mature - the mouth feel is supple and silky - there is maybe a touch less grip than this Riesling lover wants, but the complexity and mouthfeel win me over. The finish is complex, but not quite as gripping as I would like. Still, pretty damn impressive. Drink within the next 5 years I would say. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.
