Community Tasting Note

  June 19, 2022 - This is definitely showing some development. It was not temp controlled for last few years. Yellow color. Faint oxidation. Bright acidity. Not a lot of fruit. Some salinity. This is definitely still alive, and I find it quite interesting, but it is mature. This isn't delicious, but demands dinner reflection. It is fascinating.

Thia is simply because all "young fruity wines" basically taste the same. You know how all songs of banjo based yodeling country&western music all taste the same ;-)
  
  Of course, peraonal taste is what drives us, and can never be "wrong".
  
  I'm very much looking forward to this bottle for Sunday dinner, hoping there will be no oxidization under our plop. Which I was sorry to notice that you had to suffer from.
  
  Cheers!

I need to edit the note, because it was in fact, not temp controlled for a few years and that might have affected this somewhat. Either way, it was still a super fun bottle, and I imagine your mag will be an even better experience

  Wife decided that the previous (very cold) weekend should supply us only with red wines. Thursday this week may provide an opening for this wine, though. Should go well with Italian food :-)
