Community Tasting Notes 10

  February 20, 2024 - Coravined a glass about a month ago and although I loved the nose, the palate had a bitter note and just had something off putting about it.
  Now, another coravin glass and wow this is good. I can’t say if it is the micro-ox or me. But although I get a hint of bitter, it is far outweighed by the delicious juicy fruits. Slightly floral on the nose with a mix of unusual fruits including pear (which is not unusual but I can’t quite place the others) The palate is a completely different wine with some creaminess and tangerine as well as butterscotch. Really unique and I am fighting with myself not to open the rest of the bottle on a school
  night.

  February 5, 2024 - N: Juicy starfruit and fresh white gooseberries without any of that subtle funk those berries usually gives off. White flowers help elevate the aromas here. Crisp fresh pears develop with some air. Amazing aromas here.
  
  P: If only the starfruits from the nose showed up here on the palate.. but instead I get squeezed lemons and limes, bitter grass and minerals, whole uncut pears with its stem, and incredibly thin slices of pineapple flesh. A soft kiss of creaminess and caress of vanilla on the sides of the tongue and back end that accompanies the fruit through the finish (real nice actually, like a really light and milky butterscotch).
  
  This is very much like a spy to me. A fresh white masking as a heavy chard, or is it the other way around.. either way, masquerading as a swifty (no Taylor) with its freshness and lift really helps with its delivery at this weight class, and especially without showing any kind of speed (think liveliness). The acidity seems like it wants to break through glass ceiling but due to its weight, alas, it cannot reach far enough. If this were lighter, which I’m sure 10-16 years of cellaring could do, this would be nice but might have more nutty notes introduced by then. 94+

  December 24, 2023 - Bought 2, one for now and one to age. I won't repeat the notes above. Suffice to say, this is delicious. No idea when or if it will shut down. Profile suggest that it will age. Good enough now that I don't care to find out.
