Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 - This one is coiled tight in a significant way. This note was written on Day 3. Wine evolved and opened over three days, but this is just a baby.

Its pale gold in the glass and bright, but not as brilliantly clear as the '17 Walter Scott 12 east 12 sitting next to it. The nose is wet rocks, light citrus, with a layer of flinty goodness. The palate is lean citrus, minerals, flint again, hint of yeast? and sharp acidity. Great medium mouthfeel, and the finish is quite long and dominated by the acidity. Only the slightest hint of oak on the nose and don't get any on the palate. Overall, right in my style zone for chardonnay. This one reminds me more of the X-Novo than any of their other Chardonnays. The rock salt is brighter and more acidic and maybe just more tensioned than X-Novo. It's a very refined and delicious wine. Kudos to the folks at Walter Scott for sharing some stash.
