Community Tasting Note

  • RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 94 points

    March 8, 2019 - Prior bottle was almost nine months ago and this wine continues to impress. Extremely pretty nose with apricot, peach, melon and citrus. Between medium and full bodied with a purity of fruit that shines through brightly: apricot and peach upfront, shifting to more tropical notes of orange and passion fruit through the middle. Backside shows some white orchard fruits now (apple and pear) to go along with the citrus notes of tart orange, lemon and lime. Still has enough acidity and contrasting tart notes for balance and backbone. My concern has always been how well will the acidity hold up and after four bottles over nearly three years I can say it should have the elements to continue to show well at least over the next 3+ years at this level. But given how well this wine is showing at present, there's no reason to wait.
