Community Tasting Notes 8

    February 20, 2021 - À point from the first sip, with a rich texture and a lovely mix of yellow fruit and savory tones. As it warms up from cellar temperature there is a saline brightness, and the finish picks up a slightly creamy edge. Wonderful now, I would drink any bottles you might have. Don’t miss this stage for the wine.

    December 23, 2019 - Very nice and jumps out of the glass as something "natural, Italian". Less of an edgy orange style and more of a white with some skin contact style. Wildflowers, cut dried grass, honeysuckle, dry mineral.

    (If it didn't drop a bit in the middle, it'd go from very good / excellent to something even better.)

    November 9, 2019 - G and Z both loved. Textured. Funk of orange wine, but smooth.

    September 26, 2019 - Acidic, bright, lemon. Wax & wool, like a Chenin Blank. Steely, a little grass. Really good. Broad.

    May 4, 2019 - Looks unfiltered as it's quite cloudy. Interesting aromas which made me think Italian immediately. Medium plus weight and some tannins, double blind could pass for a red.
