Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 28, 2019 - I opened my first bottle of the Aeris several months ago, shortly after it arrived. It was aromatically interesting, but very closed in on the palate. I decided to wait 4-6 months, and open another bottle, so last night I did just that.

I drank this one from a different glass, the Grassl Glass Mineralite. I have found that it shows aromatics quite well, and is pretty even with other glasses for palate expression. It certainly did the trick on the aromatics, which were similar to the prior bottle (lime, hay, some stony elements, and a touch of reduction). I did find better palate delineation this time. The wine did not seem so closed or heavy. It still had good depth, and it was more lively/agile on the palate.

I don't have enough experience with this type of wine to make any predictions about overall aging, but the improvement over the last several months indicates that some short term cellaring could be beneficial, and certainly not harmful. There's plenty of depth to allow for a short nap, to see what might going on in another 12-24 months.
