Friday, November 10, 2023 - -- decanted immediately before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hrs. --
NOSE: expressive and high-toned; apple, with a hint of butter; orange/lemon mix, with a bubblegum tail.
BODY: golden yellow color; lots of tartrate crystals present; {forgot to note weight}
TASTE: Lovely Chardonnay flavors, that lean just a little towards "fuzzy Chenin" in one sense, and lean a little "appley Manzanilla" in another; medium+ to high acidity; long finish, where the flor makes a faint, but noticeable, appearance; alc. is hidden; this continues to be absolutely stupendous! Ash gut impression score: 91. I'm still around 93. No apparent need to drink anytime soon, but it is quite pleasurable now.
