Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 6, 2008 - While I would like to have waited to try the next bottle of this wine, my fear of POX convinced me to try one now. No worries! Another poster said the cork appeared to be peroxide bleached -- certainly doesn't appear so to me. Anyway, my second bottle of this, the first tried in March of 2006. The next one won't be opened for several more years. Nose suggests honeysuckle and guava, then morphs to orchard fruit (peaches). In sharp contrast to the relatively rich and luxurious nose, the palate is loaded with green apples with nice minerality, and is wound very tightly; firm acidity. Needs at least another couple years. First-rate wine, showing nicely but just waiting to blossom.
