Friday, September 20, 2019 - White Burg village night in the neighbourhood. Tasted semi-blind. 1 hour of air in bottle. Tasted over the next 2 hours. Drank in Zalto Universal.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, shy medium intensity, with aromas of matchstick blowing off, flinty minerality, white florals, citrus lemon, bits of honey oil with more air. Developing.
On the palate, dry, crisp high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of citrus lemon, green limes, flinty minerality, some deep honey lemon oil giving this a bit more weight with more air. Medium+ finish going long towards the 2 hour mark.
Good quality. Not in a good place at the moment, could be just tight. Tough to guess this blind. Didn't really point to any particular appellation. Conservative score for now. I will try to re-explore this again later on day 2.
Retasted remainder under vacuum seal on day 3: opened up into additional salty limestone minerality and weightier lemon curd fruit. Yummy lip smacking aicidty and mouth-feel. Stronger performance! Up 1 more point. This old vines just needs more time to blossom I think.
