Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 26, 2019 - Full disclosure - this was a bottle made for the dosage testing and not the final bottling. It was hand disgorged and dosage was 1g/l which is the final dosage level for this vintage. The wine was cloudy because of the hand disgorgement but I noticed after an hour that much of the yeast and other particulate had settle in the bottom of the glass. This sat in neutral oak. There's a faint yeast aroma but was that from the critters floating in the glass or the wine itself and will it show in the final? No brioche either. Don't know the answer. There's yellow apple and lemon aromas. The texture of the wine is very fine, an elegant mouthfeel. Palate flavors, for me, were driven by unsweetened lemon curd, grapefruit, and blood orange. Rhys guys are very excited about this wine and I would agree, can't wait to trying the final results of all their efforts.
