Community Tasting Notes 5

  April 13, 2023 - Medium lemon colored with high viscosity legs (13.5% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of lemon rind, Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, white flower, honeydew and a nut component. The palate is dry with medium acidity and a rather large dose of bitterness right off the bat. The body is medium and I get flavors of Meyer lemon, brioche, some baking spice, melon and hazelnut. This wine has obviously seen some oak and perhaps a little lees stirring. The finish is quite lengthy- with bitter hazelnut skins and lemon notes alongside the brioche and vanilla. It runs $25 and gets 91 points from me. I would drink till 2028 with heavier dishes of chicken, perhaps an Alfredo. This blend of 70 % Viura and 30% White Grenache gets 5 stars.

  July 19, 2022 - Lighter than previous vintages. Usually starts with lemony flavor developing into vanilla, but this vintage stays in citrus. Pretty good appetizer.

  May 29, 2022 - 醒酒半小时，淡柠檬色，闻香有白花，奶油饼干，油桃和一丝麦芽糖香气，入口酸度中等，酒液咸，一些矿物感，收口甜美，刺槐花，杏和桃子的果香，饼干味道，酒液有油脂感，后段强烈辛辣伴随着明显的回苦，余味是漂亮的茉莉花香和淡淡的奶油饼干，口中还有冰糖的余味。随着醒酒时间增加，花香更加明显。一支年轻而又强壮的酒，酒体偏饱满，香气成熟开放，后段的微苦提升了酒的结构，残糖的甜美适当中和了酒的辛辣感，不错的结合。传统里奥哈维尤拉会有的植物气息在这支酒里几乎感觉不到，如果盲品的话我会猜它是一支南罗纳河谷的酒。第二天的氧化后终于捕捉到熟悉的植物气息。

  January 22, 2022 - Un Rioja blanc issu de Macabeu et Grenache blanche. Belle complexité aromatique, fraîcheur et tension, finale minérale avec de beaux amers. J’aime beaucoup ce vin à prix très accessible. 91/92
