Community Tasting Note

January 29, 2020 - Note: This is not the Classico. Several vendors on Searcher Pro are careless about what they have vs what they advertise. Bought a bottle last night for $21 during half-price wine night at our unusual neighborhood self-described "social house" (veg-centric menu, eclectic drinks list): $1 over the lowest US retail price on Searcher Pro. Noisy with low light so not the best tasting conditions. Pale gold; fragrant nutty, honey nose, some hay; some honey, some nuttiness, straw, very good mouthfeel; some persistence. Saved half for 24h, and it held up well. Screwcap. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and (restaurant) price.
