Community Tasting Notes 10

  March 11, 2024 - 짙은 레몬색의 매우 강력한 아로마. 레몬 제스트, 잘 익은 핵과, 살구, 바닐라, 구운 아몬드 향이 겹겹이 올라오며 입안에서는 산도가 힘차게 치고 올라온다. 매우 풍성하고 웅장한 스타일의 샤도네이. 뉴오크에서 오는 풍미가 매우 강렬하지만 와인의 생동감과 신선함을 그다지 방해하지는 않는다는 느낌이었다. 긴 여운을 보여주며 지금도 맛있지만 수년 후가 더 기대되는 인상을 받았다. 풀 바디의 샤도. 에너지가 넘치는 와인.

  March 10, 2024 - A very satisfied Chardonnay, both on nose and pallet. It is so powerful that it should not drink directly along with Pinot Noir (we used to get a little white to reset between different reds), it should be enjoyed by itself.

  October 27, 2023 - Golden colour. Honeysuckle, daisies and suggestion of yellow fruit on the nose. Silky mouthfeel and quite bright acidity with some natural sweetness whilst remaining dry. Really well balanced and frankly delicious. N.B. did not detect any oak.

  October 7, 2023 - QN: had with 2017 PC chablis so tasting this was a shock to the system... regardless this folllows the ABC style well, big ripe california chard fruit, some malo, lots of new expensive french oak, firm and fresh on the palate with no overripeness. great stuff that will improve over the next few years.

  April 7, 2023 - Blind tasting (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): N: Obvious but lightly buttered popcorn, covering up the yellow fruit, stretched taffy. The notes on the nose makes this wine a bit fun. Personally, not something to be wafting on daily but nice once in a while.
  
  P: Matches nose completely, buttered taffy, bitter pineapple skins.
  
  Thinking process: Guess chardonnay immediately because of the butter notes. I told myself that if I got this one wrong, I need to stop drinking wine, period. This was a fun wine, regardless of the notes it gives. The butter notes lead me to Napa so..
  
  My calls:
  Chardonnay
  2020 vintage
  New world
  US > Napa
