Community Tasting Note

• RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 92 points

  June 6, 2023 - Prior bottle was almost 14 months ago and this wine is slowly evolving along the lines I'd hoped. Nose still shows mostly white apple and pear, with white peach as a background element. Close to medium bodied with white apple upfront as well as contrasting white pear, adding white peach through the middle with some tropical highlights. Backside continue to show acidity, spices, minerals and citrus notes. The acidity still has quite a bit of kick and while it still conceals much of the tropical notes, the white peach was better resolved this time. In general, the acidity is coming into better balance with the fruit and the fruit is slowly showing more complexity. Perhaps not evolving as quickly as I anticipated and therefore worth continuing to hold. I'll wait for Summer 2024 for my next bottle and perhaps even longer. Even if you enjoy the high acidity (as I do), this is worth holding for more time as the improved balance is worth waiting for.
