Community Tasting Notes 5

  October 16, 2023 - Citrus, reduction (sulfur and rubber, so not the good kind), orange blossom, and orange zest on the nose. Good acidity with lemon notes, minerals, orange zest, and more reduction on the palate. Medium finish. I didn’t love this, definitely disappointing compared to other aged Littorai Chardonnays I had.

  August 29, 2021 - Slo-oxed for ~15 minutes, chilled. A bit better after an additional 15-20 minutes of slo-ox, and at warmer (cellar) temps. Color was a clear medium yellow-gold. A combination of citrus and oak on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed an abundance of lemon, along with stone fruit, spice, and oak. The acidity was juicy and relatively balancing.
  Overall, a well made wine that showed better than our bottle of the 2012 earlier this year. Should hold for several more years..

  April 16, 2018 - Very light nose of white fruit, rich palate of tart grape and apple. Lacking in complexity and depth, is it closed?
