Wimps Vendredi Gras - Covington; 2/24/2023-2/25/2023 (La Trompette): Pale pale colour. On the nose, just a whiff of struck match, and a hint of incense, like walking past an old church porch in a spring morning. Lovely acidity, some lemon on the palate, very precise and also long. Some discussion with the somm who was excited to have tried it, this is evidently a cult wine now, and the generous fellow diner who brought it along forwent a 90% profit on this. Really good stuff - reminded me of PYCM with perhaps just a bit more lightness and struck match.

Tremendo vino. Color amarillo pajizo de tono bajo. En nariz es puro cítrico con una nota de te matcha espectacular. Es crujiente y llena la boca. La acidez después de casi 3 años de guarda está muy bien integrada. Complejo.
