Community Tasting Notes 7

  July 18, 2013 - Wine Dinner (Thai Cottage, SF): From half. Deep golden color; fresh orange, pure, slight muskiness; full bodied, sweet, good acidity but not quite enough acidity, pure fruit, orange; short finish. Tasted blind and guessed new world late harvest, not quite icewine but no botrytis. An excellent value and a strong buy, enjoyable but certainly not in the same league of purity and concentration as great German or Canadian icewines. To be consumed in the short term. 90
  Day 4: Lovely wine. Balanced, good acidity, maybe a tad sweet, great value, complex. Reminds me of a Hedgies Late Harvest Riesling from Australia that I loved and drank a lot of for months a few years ago.

  December 12, 2010 - Deep gold-we both commented that the color seemed to belie its age. Nose of apricots and honey. Taste was somewhat cloyingly sweet. Overall too sweet for the acid, but generally is nice enough.

  September 21, 2008 - Nice bright acidity to cut the sweetness. Honey, Apricot, slight bitter finish.

  February 22, 2008 - From the memory. Very different than finest examples of German counterpart because of lack of minerality. Nevertheless it was very enjoyable. Heave grapey nose and viscous palate held together with decent acids.Slight bitterness on the back end.
