Community Tasting Notes 12

  October 2, 2013 - Medium gold color. Aromas of toasted nuts, spiced pear, and baked apple with some lemon/citrus. This has plenty of orchard fruit still on the palate and shows great apple and melon notes with a lemony finish that carries a background of toasted nuts and vanilla. This is holding well but is probably at the point where it needs to be finished up to catch it at peak enjoyment for my tastes. Drink.

  December 17, 2011 - Medium yellow color, starting to deepen. Aromas of vanilla, pear, apple, and butterscotch. Butterscotch, apple, and poached pear on the palate carry into a medium finish. This is on the back end of its prime drinking window for my tastes. Drink.

  February 24, 2011 - Medium gold color with some hints of amber. Sweet aroma of butterscotch candy. Palate shows rich butterscotch, applesauce, lemon curd, and a hint of quince. The finish is medium. Mature, but not showing nutty oxidation notes. Drink.

  December 5, 2010 - Bright straw color. Aromas of sea breeze, underripe pineapple, and lemon. The palate shows some hints of almond, lemon, resin, and a long finish with a strong mineral note. On day two the mineral note amplifies and this shows like a chablis with gunflint and mineral notes. A radical change from past notes and may evolve if it can avoid oxidation, but time to drink, for me. Drink.

  February 26, 2010 - Bright yellow-gold color. Big aromas of butterscotch, sweet pear, vanilla, and lemon. On the palate, this shows a full flavor profile that is dominated by pear and butterscotch but also has some hazelnut, lemon, flowers, stones, pineapple, and bitter melon. Long finish. Showing more than the 2005 right now. Drink over the next 2-5 years.
