Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by bottles.and.bites on 2/12/2023 & rated 88 points: Unctuous, peach, almost toasted marshmallow. Ripe fruit, honeyed but not overly sweet for a demi. (1378 views)
 Tasted by Jessie and Max on 10/1/2022 & rated 91 points: Another wonderfully rich nose, with apricots, bread, and an intriguing hint of pine. The palate was well-balanced, honeyed and off-dry, with a note that one member of the tasting brilliantly called "pasta water." Rich and beautiful. (1420 views)
 Tasted by rustyRudy on 8/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Nice balance of sweet and acidity, dad liked it, get more if available (1575 views)
 Tasted by kitkat4 on 4/20/2022 & rated 91 points: Continuing my recent tasting with same wine but 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020 vintages. Upon opening the 2020 vintage it is very Riesling like - juicy, hint of grapefruit, higher acidity than the previous vintages. Sweetness initially more pronounced and then fading a bit to bring it more into balance. Stone fruit lingering after.

Day 2 is more elegant than day 1, adding some depth that wasn't there previously. Minerals more in the forefront, almonds, and a richness that wasn't there earlier.

Really lovely and think it will age very nicely. (1467 views)
