Community Tasting Note

    March 7, 2016 - Well hello there! Six years since the last time I tried this wine, and it has evolved in a beautiful way. It still has a primary fruit, focused on lime zest and red berries. Where things get interesting is the evolving aromatics and flavors of brown spices, anise seed, dried flowers and crushed rocks. There is a touch of creaminess on the palate, offset by refreshing acidity on the finish. Youthful sweetness has backed off, though it is still a touch sweeter than halbtrocken on entry. Ultimately it finishes dry, as that acidity just wipes the palate clean. Early maturity here, so drinking any time over the next several years is recommended. It's amazing that this was $13 on release. What a value!
