Community Tasting Notes 11

  April 22, 2024 - Screwcap. Lemon yellow in colour showing yellow fruits on the nose (lemon, yellow melon and possibly pineapple!). Medium in body with a luxury slightly viscous and weights and coming over as very pure and crystalline. A little too much Tuscan sunshine showing through for my wife as she found it too sweet. I liked it but wouldn't rush to reload.

  March 1, 2024 - Intensely flavoured wine. A mix of savoury mineral salty notes with lemon and lime. Medium plus weight. I think this is matured in old botte, from which come the savoury notes. The finish catches the palate, which detracts. Perhaps caused by skin contact. Long and some complexity. Drinking nicely now, don't think it will improve.

  March 1, 2024 - Lovely. Citrus, pear, minerals, and fresh oak. Long lively finish. A favorite among Italian Chardonnays.

  December 25, 2023 - I’ve been tasting this Chardonnay over the last years and this is the first time where the freshness is overcome by the roundness in un unbalanced way. Oak is still present and will have time to integrate, but the lack of freshness won’t help in that.

  November 11, 2023 - Nice nose, good balance, there is a nice salinity about this wine. There is more opulence around this wine than precision. But overall a very tasty drink.
