Community Tasting Notes 17

  January 29, 2023 - Guy's Night: ABBC (Anything but Bordeaux and Chardonnay) (Joe & Khem's Place, Mpls): Deep gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Petrol on the nose up front, lacqueur, beeswax, light white flower notes, and an oxidative character. The palate is oxidative, petrol, golden fruits, oily, round and full bodied, white pepper on the finish. Mature and lacks freshness, so probably best to finish these off.

  January 26, 2023 - Guys night out - ABBC (Anything But Bordeaux or Cabernet): Pop and pour, drank about 1/6th of the bottle over 1.5 hours. Very Rhone white styles, beesaw, lemon. A fellow taster pointed out its resemblance to a Lopez Heredia white, which is a great comparison, this wine just has more fruit and less complexity.

  January 26, 2023 - Anything Goes but Cab and Bordeaux! (Joe's Bistro): This was a slight disappointment as my expectations were very high. Still, a very good wine! Nose initially showed some diesel, which blew off after a few minutes and some white flower and stone fruit came through. Palate was waxy/oily (not in a bad way) with mild honeycomb, unripe peach and some spice. Pretty straight-forward wine that drinks nicely but not the greatest value for my palate. A quick note to point out that I am way more picky with whites than with reds. 90 to 91 points for my palate.

  March 14, 2021 - Pop and pour. In the glass, slightly hazy deep gold, almost light orange in color. On the nose, honeysuckle, oak, and a faint touch of green apple. On the palate, Meyer lemon, petrol, and floral notes, with a secondary note of apple. An almost creamy, oily midpalate leads into a surprisingly crisp (if not acidic or tannic) finish.
