Community Tasting Note

blackbrownbeige Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 27, 2021 - Iodine and light crushed rocks minerality greet you on opening. There's an attractive, lightly lactic quality to the nose with almond skin and a lees-y brioche, maybe a bit of yellow to red apple for fruit (but this wine isn't about fruit). The sparks really fly on the palate: I think this wine is the definition of "dry extract" - it just feels wonderfully constructed and chewy while still maintaining excellent freshness and acidity. Surprising zest and electricity for a 2015 white with a racy, near-chalky finish. Texture, texture, texture.

This has the structure to go for the long, long haul; 5-10 years easy.
