Community Tasting Note

wondersofwine Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 4, 2016 - I opened and compared this with the 2012 vintage of the same wine. I liked the 2011 slightly better. it was a rich gold color with transparency and viscosity. It is aromatic with fruit scents of pear and tart apple with some spice notes from the oak barrels. In the mouth, it is slightly tart with mineral notes backing up the pear and apple fruit. Overall, it is harmonious with medium body and a lengthy finish. While some oak is noticeable, it is not at all buttery or flabby. I liked how it paired with fried shrimp and also with smoked Gouda cheese.
