Wednesday, June 30, 2021 - Random wines tried before service (Oinoscent): Courtesy of a customer
The wine shows high intensity in the nose, powerful oaky profile, oxidative with honey, walnut, butter, lime, saline, Aegean freshness, earthy, almond, tin peach and pineapple, preserved lemon.
The wine shows strength in the palate, full aggressive, high acidity, salinity, mineral, there is almost a touch of CO2 tingle on the teeth, lemon, the oak is more to the back now, the fruit is upfront. The wine shows medium body and finish
Despite the initial reaction, the wine is less heavy and dense in the palate than expected.
