Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 9, 2020 - -- decanted approx. 3 hours before initial taste on Day 1 --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours on Day 1; revisited on Day 3 and Day 6 --

NOSE: very light Nose --- nearly vacant --- on Day 1. Day 3 brought a light bready note, and a light limeade note. No material change by Day 6, either. Almost nothing here.

BODY: orange color with a slight pinkish hue; light bodied.

TASTE: gently oxidative; medium-high acidity; gentle sandalwood on the finish --- seems to derive from skin contact; a touch salty; light apple note (oxidative); paired nicely with scallops atop squid ink pasta. On Day 3, it still had that tangy skin contact thing going on --- light limeade/tequila presentation. Final approach on Day 6 didn't suddenly reveal much flavor. There's just not much going on here. Charitably, I "just don't get it"; honestly and straightforwardly, there's just not much going on here. Pretty much the same as my 5/12/16 bottle/TN. Gut impression score: low to mid 80s.
