Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Monday, October 31, 2016 - Open since last night. When opened, and for the next few hours, it was really burly and stuffed - both on the nose and on the palate. Too much for me to enjoy. But as I hoped, this has loosened up quite a bit. Holy fuck the nose on this is good - red apple, sweet peach, cherry, cumin and then god-knows-what spices: it feels Thai - maybe lemongrass or galanga. Then some sort of alloy of crystalized sugar, white flowers and flint and little stones. The tension between the sweet fruit and the sharpness of the other aspects is just intoxicating. The palate is excellent as well - so light on its feet but with all the wonderful flavors of the nose. The palate leans more towards the sweet fruit than the acidity or the snap, but it's all there. The acid really comes out more towards the end palate - showing sweet and sharp lime which combines wonderfully with the other flavors. The finish is really exciting with the lime, minerals and thai spices dominating. Fantastic. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5+/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17.5+/20 (with 17.5-18/20 potential)
