Community Tasting Note

  January 6, 2024 - After seeing Charlie's note, I decided to open a bottle last night. Charlie has an experienced palate so I was curious to see what the wine has been doing since I opened one 4 years ago. Upon opening, it was wild. Yogurt and melted butter, the Marguet herb (from the oak?), citrus and mineral. After an hour, it really settled down and refined the wild side, with a leaner, cleaner profile, with the same light herb shading, plus the citrus. I liked the two expressions, and have enough left for a glass tomorrow to do a final check and wrap up the note....retaste on Day 2, I can see where Charlie's perceptions may be coming from. There is not a lot of flesh here, as this is squarely middle weight. Yet, I don't find it austere. Lemon peel, tart green apple, mineral and what I want to call either mushroom or loam, maybe a combo of both. And from the wood, a mix of light caramel and clove. Overall, perhaps like with Charlie, some people are not gonna like this wine, as the mix of tart, mineral and the spice may not appeal but I find it fine to drink.
