Community Tasting Note

  • uncorked.fr wrote:

    May 8, 2024 - Organic. Surprisingly excellent balance in spite of the 14% ABV. This is already drinking quite nicely but will definitely benefit from at least another year or two in the bottle.

    APPEARANCE:
    Color & intensity: medium lemon

    NOSE:
    Intensity: medium (+)
    Aromas: Meyer lemon, dried herbs (lemon thyme & rosemary), lemon zest, flint, cut grass, hints of smoked meat and sea breeze
    Development: developing

    PALATE:
    Sweetness: dry
    Acidity: medium (+)
    Alcohol: high
    Body: medium (+)
    Intensity: medium (+)
    Flavors: lemon, lemon thyme, lemon zest, crushed chalk, cut grass, hint of salt
    Finish: medium (+)

    CONCLUSIONS:
    Quality level: very good
    Potential for ageing: a bit youthful for our personal tastes but can drink now; good potential for further ageing
