Community Tasting Notes 8

• blaahhi wrote: 89 points

  April 27, 2024 - Fruit salad, citrus, banana and some apple on the nose, as well as some farty reduction. The dry, slender palate continues with these ingredients, adding stony mineral acidity. Medium to long finish, tapering towards the acids. Fresh, linear and approachable, and (as is to be expected) excellent with food.

  December 14, 2023 - My first Txakoli and there was a few surprises.
  First, the colour is deep golden.
  Then, the nose is as aromatic and explosive as I expected. There yellow apple, maybe kumquat. But then there are also very pronounced lees ageing notes. I get cottage cheese or slight umami, maybe distant hazelnut. Together these notes blend in something banana-like that shines against minerality backbone. Very complex nose for the price point.
  On the palate, it has high acidity but also medium+ body which is surprising but exciting. I get more of the lees notes and maybe some pear and citrus. Minerality as well.
  Finish isn’t very exciting but the acidity does linger a long time.
  8+/18

  July 13, 2023 - Such wonderful vibrance and energy here. Green apples, lemon-lime, stone fruit, and honeysuckle from beginning to end. Crisp, dry, so succulent, the flavors streak across the palate with a laser beam of acidity backed by a lick of salt. Crisp and crunchy on the tasty finish.

  July 2, 2023 - Good, gets better on day two — I’d say it’s about comparable to Ameztoi, though I do wish this were the ‘22. It’s holding on just fine but it feels maybe a bit rounder than a perfectly fresh one.

  March 8, 2023 - Refreshing and spritzig! Hint of lime. Great QPR. Low alcohol.
