Community Tasting Note

  • Satoshi Nakamoto Likes this wine: 95 points

    March 14, 2021 - Double decanted for sediment and served an hour later. The lovely feral nose I smelled during the initial pour morphed into a big wall of brett when dinner came around, rendering it fairly unenjoyable for some. A few tasters initially thought VA, others called brett, others likened it to Levet or some geeky wine funk.

    Stored the rest in vials and tried it the next night at cellar temperature. The brett on the nose was noticably reduced, with pronounced notes of dried rose pedals and sous bois. Palate is silky and fully resolved with a bit of spice. Beautiful length. I think it’s awesome tonight. Wish it showed better for everyone the night before though.
