Community Tasting Note

  • Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 90 points

    May 12, 2019 - Coravined this a couple times back in Jan when the wife turned 50...now the cork comes out. Seems tired from what we tried in Jan? The fruit still has a nice sweetness of botrytis semillon...peach apricot tea, saffron threads, creme brule crust, honey butter, orange marmalade...aged dryness and mineral salinity...rich yet delicate...but the vibrant fresh citrus acidity was lacking...and more mothball mustiness and oxidized bitters were evident. Still pleasures to be had...but not the 97pt experience as before.
