Friday, March 29, 2024 - The Future of Wine Seminar /w Jancis Robinson (Dogpatch, San Francisco): Nose: Clean stones, crisp and lightly ripe stone fruits. White berries, distinct ripe halved mangoes, and subtle kiwi notes. Amazing nose here.
Palate: Pleasureful ripeness with awesome racy acidity that cuts through the weight, bringing nice balance. Great juiciness, lightly bitter minerals brings a lift, like puppet strings.
My bubbles on my first pour dissipated from waiting too long, and for the better! The notes were all from letting the bubbles fizz out. I had a second pour after and it was still good, but the flavors weren't as pronounced because of the bubbles. Good either way, but I'd rather have it almost slightly flat.

Was she not at the store on Saturday?
