Community Tasting Notes (15) Avg Score: 92.4 points

  • Medium gold in the glass and reticent on the nose at fridge temperature - shows just a touch of sulphur (not faulty). With warming, the nose turns to aromas of baked apple, and just a hint of cement. The palate is medium+ bodied, creamy in texture and off-dry. While not quite as sweet as I expected, it expands on the palate as it warms in the glass. Flavors of apple and burnt pear, and a medium-long finish. The acidity has mellowed and this is drinking very well - should hold in this nice place for several more years.

  • Prior bottle was just over 15 months ago and the wine has evolved in that time. Much softer nose than previously, showing some light orchard fruit notes. Medium bodied and like the prior bottle, has lost a considerable amount of its acidity, even more so than previously. Peach and apple remain upfront, with richer, tropical notes behind. Acidity is just a light kiss towards the very back along with a touch of citrus-based notes. Fruit still shows quite well, but with the vibrant acidity fading, I'm glad I had my final bottle when I did. The fruit alone should be able to support this wine for a bit longer, but it will lose the complexity and contrasts that made it so enjoyable in its youth.

  • My first bottle in just over two years and it continues to show quite well. Opened at 50F, warming to 54F which probably allowed the fruit to be a little more expressive than previously but also resulted in the acidity coming off somewhat less prominently. Soft peach and other orchard fruits on the nose. Medium bodied (9% ABV) with excellent fruit-based richness but missing that distinctive flinty, mineral crunch of acidity. Peach and soft apple upfront, then adding richer more tropical notes (pineapple, mango, tangerine). The acidity is still very much present in the background, lending good structure, but not as much contrast as previously. Retains the tart, citrus based notes of lemon and green apple towards the back along with acidity and mineral notes on the finish. This wine is moving out of its acidity-dominant youth and with the overall richness and current level of fruit, should continue to show well over the next few years.
