Community Tasting Notes 17

  October 14, 2023 - This was very tasty but perplexing. First poured it had the appearance of a bit of age. My initial impression was that it was good but there were definite oxidative flavors. This would be consistent with the previous notes. Carmel Apple nose. Quite good acidity but bruised apple, lemon, straw. The thing that perplexes me is how well this held on for. Indra k it over three days and it hung on and, honestly, was pretty outstanding, day two. Definite freshness, good citrus notes. So, I imagine I’ll let my last bottle go another year and I’ll see where things shake out. If it’s over the hill then so be it. The color leads me to believe the end is near but who knows.

  April 29, 2023 - Distinct golden color, moreso than most chardonnay. On the nose, peanut, pear, yellow apple. On palate, big yellow apple and pear. Background lemon, salinity. M- acidity. 13.2%, no heat. I did not find it to be acid deficient.
  Relatively rounded texture, creamy. Perfect balance, rustic profile, soooooo tasty. Fruit forward in profile. In the zone.

  October 17, 2022 - Starting to get a little long in the tooth, this bottle didn't have quite the excitement of my middle one (quite a bit of variation between the three) but it remained mature, exotic, with good tension and minerals. I'm moving on to newer vintages but continue to enjoy this excellent cuvee

  July 3, 2022 - July 4 Weekend Wines with Buds (Washington, DC): Gorgeous. Ripe yellow color. Lots of lemon curd and yellow apples on the nose, along with minerals, hay, nougat, sea salt, peanut shell and whipped honey. The palate shows creamy texture and nice acidity (a bit lower than I prefer, but still really balanced), deep yellow apple, lemon curd and apricot fruit on the palate. This shows a complex mix of minerals, sea salt, with peanut shell, corn husk, with nuanced graham cracker and honey tones. A really delightful bottle that I served blind to the buds. One guessed Chablis and one guessed CA Chardonnay, so it was fun to watch them parse it out.
