Community Tasting Notes 1

forceberry wrote: flawed
March 8, 2022 - 12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind in a Sauvignon Blanc tasting.
Evolved, medium-deep golden color with subtly greenish highlights. Dull, musty nose with aromas of wet cardboard, some mildewy aromas of water-damaged house and an evolved hint of honeyed richness. The wine feels noticeably ripe, round and concentrated on the palate with a medium body and somewhat dull flavors of stony minerality, some dusty attic, a little bit of mildew and a faint hint of lemony citrus. The acidity feels medium-to-moderately high. The finish is short and dull with flavors of dusty earth and wet cardboard.
Corked. And obviously a very ripe wine.
