Community Tasting Notes 4

  October 17, 2018 - Blandy's masterclass with Chris Blandy (Chicago, IL): Bottled 2011. Very grassy nose, and some high-toned aromas as well. I expected a really taut and high-acid wine, but there is more sweetness on the palate than what I would have guessed from the nose. There is indeed that bracing acidity, but it is nicely balanced with all the other things here. A little thinner in texture on the palate than I like, but nevertheless a very serious wine.

  April 8, 2017 - Nose of mineral, orange peel and a bit toffee. Medium bodied, dryish, silky mouthfeel, delivering subtle flavors of orange peel, butterscotch, mineral and rancio notes. Wow, so smooth and balanced! Hedonistic stuff.

  December 20, 2016 - Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #014: Madeira (@ RW and by RW): In the bouquet oxidize impressions, sherry, tangerine, nuts, raisins and curry. On the palate currants, caramel , tangerine, orange peel , butterscotch. Full bodied, fine acidity and coffee. Extremely clean, well balanced and an enormous length.
