Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 5, 2020 - Not blind. That nose! It's a combination of balsamic, rose petals and some strawberry fruit with a touch of VA that is just intoxicating. The nose alone is worth the price of admission, and it took me 5 minutes before I even tasted the wine. You can tell the VA on the nose, but this is a wine where the VA is perfectly integrated. On the palate, the fruit hits you, and it's somehow both sappy, balanced and seamless at the same time. This is clearly secondary, yet so vibrant. The fruit expands over the entire palate with slightly ripe strawberry compote notes and maybe just a touch of mint and spice. The finish is long, but the acidity is so well balanced here that this never feels at all ripe or hot. Unlike others, I didn't find this Burgundian - the nose and fruit are all wrong for Burgundy to me. But that doesn't matter - it's an absolutely spectacular wine on its own and thanks to Jason a privilege to drink.
