Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 19, 2012 - Dinner at Crush Wine Bar (Crush Wine Bar, Toronto, ON): Popped and poured, followed over the course of the next couple hours. Medium gold in the glass, still showing some persistent micro bubbles. On the nose, lemon rind, slate, caramelized sugar, florals, brioche, yeast, and with time, showing light coffee grind, mushroom, roasted hazelnuts, honey and fresh grated ginger. On the palate, this is very crisp, with a strong acidic spine, but still showing some creamy richness and excellent depth, with notes of citrus zest, burnt sugar, mineral, with a touch of green apple skins. I was expecting this to be piercingly acidic on the palate, but that was not the case, as this showed tremendous balance, with a round, rich mouthfeel, while maintaining a good level of focus and precision. An exceptional pairing with the oysters. While this was excellent tonight, I would expect this to continue to improve and evolve for the next several years.
