85 Points
Monday, May 1, 2017 - MNB: High Terpene Whites (Home (Noe st)): Medium Yellow in the glass
- Slight peach, but also butter, oak, yellow apples, VA (ethyl acetate)
Dry (maybe slight RS, but probably not), full-bodied, high alcohol (15%), medium acid, medium bitterness.
Ripe peach with butterscotch and vanilla.
Whole cluster pressed, stainless steel ferment, 1/3 no malo, 1/3 used oak with delestage/racking, 1/3 in used oak sur lie.
This is a pretty good example, but needs more peach.
