Community Tasting Note

  • Shrewsram Likes this wine: 92 points

    April 1, 2022 - Part of a tasting dinner with colleagues:

    Amber appearance
    Gorgeous botrytis hit on the nose: burnt orange and honey, a palpable sense of viscosity (not oil). Vibrant and displays a certain delicacy. Super intensity.

    The palate feels strangely ‘separate’ – clean but I feel I can taste the joints(!). Savoury stitching, light creamy thread, sense of pools/minerality… clean and uplifting (mirrors?), savoury touches… tangy and electric. Very stony, tangy apricot skins, orange pith. Interesting, intense, and complex.
    Had it with Tarte Tatin – brought out an almond note and very savoury.
