Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 9, 2015 - For Madrid-PSG:

Woah, this was crazy good. As Keith notes, this is a wine that delivers both those complex oxidative/voile notes of nuts, brine, toffee, and smoke, and a lovely pure fruit with notes of bruised apple and lemon. It was fascinating to watch the two sides of this wine surge and recoil, but always in harmony with one another. The bouquet from this wine often flowed well beyond the confines of the glass, in a way one would expect of an amontillado or burly red, but, on the palate, it all is finesse and a smooth, long finish.

At some point after about 2-3 hours of air, there was a note on the nose of this that was exactly that of wood shavings in a lumber yard. It was one of those olfactory notes that was so distinctive and so memory-linked, that it conjured mental images of actual experiences around a circular saw. Inhaling I could almost feel those little wood dust particles in my nostrils. But in a good way, really. That lasted for maybe 30 minutes before something else took its place. The constant shifting was fantastic.

I really love this wine. Please don't buy it, I can't get enough. The bomb indeed.
