Community Tasting Note

  October 16, 2011 - At Kingyo over some Japanese food. Last bottle, and this just happened to be a bit off. Real pity. Certainly not undrinkable though - it was still pretty decent. The nose showe a bit more kerosene tones than the previous two bottles, and then aromas pf ripe apples, yellow fruit accents, a touch of flowers and some stony mineral. Very decent, and no sign of poor storage or any other fault. The palate was not quite there though. Dry as always, but it was also a bit tart and watery at points, very different from the poised, balanced package of the previous bottles. Still though, there was a nice ring of purity on the fruit and a good bit of minerality laced through the wine - just that it was merely drinkable rather than very good. It is telling that we did not finish the bottle.
