Community Tasting Notes 3

  February 23, 2021 - Pop and pour, drunk with dinner over a couple hours
  
  A little reduction (for me in white Burg, a comforting thing) that blew off in short order to reveal lemon pith, chalk, oyster shell, and tarragon on the nose. Light to mid weighted, with bright but balanced acidity, it's chalky and steely on the palate. It's bright, fresh, and laser sharp, with a simultaneous waxiness. Its mouthwatering finish is chiseled and chalky. This is a rockhead and acid lover's wine. Hedonists run away posthaste. Drinking at peak for me. 89 on its own, better with dinner.
  
  An atypical and very good pairing with pancetta, parsley, and fresh pea pasta. The wine's acidity cut the fat of the pancetta and herbal elements of the wine and the peas/parsley played very well together.

  December 6, 2020 - Lemon pith, oyster shell, chalk and a little bitter nuttiness on the nose. It's fresh, clean, and bright on the palate: light bodied, detailed, chiseled, and chalky with a steely precision to it, but with a cool contrasting waxy note. It finishes clean and mouthwateringly fresh. A rockhead's wine. Very good and better with food.

  November 30, 2017 - Lemon zest, crushed stones and flint on the nose. Palate is fresh with sharp acidity. Good for its level.
