Community Tasting Note

  December 18, 2022 - Still young, needs another year or two. Was better on day 2. Restrained nose: white flowers, hint of mint and green papaya , light buttery oakiness. Expands in the mouth, with white pepper, ugli fruit, nectarine, and spiced apricot. Ample acidity keeps the oak in check. Very food friendly, particularly with fried chicken, lobster mac n cheese, or substituted for Muscadet in a beurre blanc. Medium weight, and a moderately long finish, showing hints of saline, sushi rice and white minerals. Not the superstar that XOmni is/will be, but intriguing enough.

  I advise against cellaring. My recommendation is embracing the youthful exuberance of 2020's :)
