Community Tasting Notes 5

  August 19, 2022 - Medium lemon in the glass. What strikes on the first whiff is the really pronounced note of MLF, so if you’re drinking this smash it in a decanter for about 20 minutes to let it open up a bit. More notes of cantaloupe, lemon zest, nectarine and peach. This follows on the palate and is complemented by a nice touch of saltiness as well. Acid is there, not too sharp but not flabby either. Everything in balance. Great wine to drink with seafood, but also to bring to a blind tasting, offering a lot of character.

  June 28, 2021 - Opent met frisse meloengeuren om in alle richtingen te evolueren in het volgende kwartier. Verrassend volle en complexe wijn, met vooral veel frisse zuren en heel divers fruit. Prima fles!

  Very acidic and bright with expanding finish. Lime zest on the nose with grapefruit juice. Aggressive and very intense. Mineral and cereal notes on the finish. (Mosel tonnerre)
  2. More fruit citrus, less zest. Almost opulent and fatter. Lingers with horse bit metallics and a lot of pull.
