January 22, 2022 - Day 2. This wine showed oddly. When opened I thought I caught a faint hint of cork a number of times. On the nose and the palate the wine seemed to go back and forth, sometimes I showed classic Falkenstein aspects of lime, minerals, white florals, spent - but others it showed sour and monotone. Now I don’t get the cork in the nose but the sour palate and especially finish show up sometimes and the wine seems clipped in the finish sometimes.

I had a similar experience with this wine but declined to mention it in my recent tasting note. I thought the issue was with me, rather than with the wine. Perhaps I was wrong. I looked at the wine over about 3 days, and it went up and down a few times over that period; from strong, to flat and simple, and back. I thought it was corked at one point, but that seemed to blow off. An enigma!
