Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 11, 2009 - I was very curious to taste this wine. Having spent nine years in oak barrels and a significant number of years in the bottle it must be something, to say the least, different. At first it seemed racy. Oxidative notes together with some nuttiness and citric fruits. After some airing the nose mellowed and while retaining the oxidative nuttiness some floral aromas emerged along with the citrus fruit. Reminded me a lot of an old palo cortado. The feel in the mouth was very interesting but here the likeness with a palo cortado ends, this is a medium bodied wine, a bone dry wine with an initial acidic feel that revealed layers and layers of different tastes. Citrus fruit on the lemony side were followed by nuttiness and a sense of wood and then the citrus fruit reemerged but this time on the orange zest side and lingered. One of the most interesting wines I have ever had and though its age is not so old I had the feeling that I was experiencing wine from a bygone age.
