Community Tasting Notes 13

  July 23, 2010 - Reductive nose initially that blew off over 30 minutes to reveal lime, grapefruit, and green apple aromas with just a hint of burnt rubber remaining. Lots of citrus on the palate with crisp acidity. Didn't get as much spritz as I have previously with other Txakolinas, perhaps due to the age? Paired well with fish tacos.

  September 28, 2009 - Pale yellow color and tangy citrus aroma. Sharp citrus flavor, acidity and minerals are the predominant taste notes. There is a lot of zip in this wine. It is very refreshing much like a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc without the SB grassiness.

  Tasted July 25, 2009 at a retail tasting.
  
  Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of paraffin, lychee and a bit of mixed tropical fruits. Flavors of pear, mango and peach. Medium acidity and body. Drink now.

  July 25, 2009 - Spain vs. Portugal (Farpointe Cellar): The nose had orange, stone, and a little lemon zest. The palate had good acidity with lots of citrus fruit, and a mineral finish.

  June 22, 2009 - Balanced and rather forward, good acidity with lime and grapefruit. I liked the 08 a little more.
