Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 3, 2022 - Notes on Wines from December 2021 (Wellington, NZ): Served double blind in a pair with the 2010 by Thierry and Andrew. A more interesting nose than the 2010, citric and orchard fruit, chalky minerals but more baking spices and white florals. After a mineral, austere entry to the palate, a similar fruit profile to the 2010, just more exuberant, intense citric fruit (without straying too far into the tropical). Also, a sense of sappy, grippy, pithy 2012 phenolics. A very dry stony, saline finish. On the night, preferred over the 2010. Similarly, I thought, on its optimal plateau for at least the next five to six years. 93+.
