Community Tasting Note

• ucbeau Likes this wine:

  April 13, 2014 - Very interesting stuff. We chilled it for about 20 minutes before serving. On the nose it's got beeswax, floral perfume, and limes. The palate was somewhat confusing because the attack is quite nice, with fresh acidity and lively flavors. The finish though is odd, with a strange bitter, salty kind of sensation when you swallow. I liked every part of the wine but that.
