Community Tasting Note

flawed
Saturday, March 14, 2020 - My first EP Trebbiano...VERY dark amber looking color? Is this shot? If it was a Burgundy, down the drain. It doesn't smell poxed though...but does have a baked apple pie, hot cider nose, fresh squeeze citrus, soaked wood chips. Pretty subdued nose though? Palate is rich and a little edgy...harsh citric acid burn, especially on the finish? Some walnut oil...crushed minerals...burnt sugar...I'm going to let this sit and come back to it. After an hour, not any better. I've only had a 2013 Valentini Trebbiano last summer, which blew me away...BRIGHT yellow color...bursting with energy and brightness? Going by that wine...this has to be FLAWED! Shame...my first bad experience with an EP wine.
