Community Tasting Note

  • blackbrownbeige Likes this wine: 92 points

    March 7, 2021 - As others have said, really, REALLY needs an hour or more of air to get going. Was initially shocked by the orange/peachy colour it poured, and it was grumpy and reticent at first, almost muddled; but here follows my notes over the next hour and a bit:

    Nose: Bruised yellow apple. Broad, broad, broad. Lightly oxidative. Mineral, but like...a sheet? Of minerals. Like aged white burg with bubbles. Acid still SO present. Again, that bruised apple. Something lightly spicy on the finish. Depth. Cloves? Non-sugary cinnamon? Just intense, forward, mouth coating. Finish so, so long. Enveloping. This wine is quietly yelling THINK ON ME AWHILE.

    This is a wine that asks you to pay attention to it.
