Community Tasting Note

  May 15, 2022 - Dinner with Mervyn and Jerming (Casa Esperanza): Always a lovely wine, especially when it has a smidgen of age on it. This is easily a couple of decades or more away from its peak, but boy was it enjoyable even now. The nose was classic VdC, with white tea, chamomile and honey notes floating like a halo around a core of white peach aromas. Just lovely - a beautiful nose tea-like bouquet. The palate was delicious too. Fresh, crisp, juicy and complex, with flavours of honeysuckle, chamomile and white tea dancing around a subtle core of yellow fruit, All perfectly balanced, round and succulent, with a delicious long finish trailing away with a tiny hint of spice. This to me has always been one of the singular wines of the wine world, and always worth seeking out, especially given how the prices are still fairly manageable.
