Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 - The Walter Scott 12 east 12 chardonnay is pale yellow-green in the glass. It's very bright and sparkly in the Grassl glass. This note was written on day 3 although most of the wine was drank on day 1. On pop and pour, this one was ready to drink. On the nose, it leads off with inviting ripe citrus, minerals, and sweet light toast caramel. Very inviting nose. By day 3 the nose shows more acidity and barrel. On the palate, it leads with the great fruit, and then the texture and acidity start on the mid-palate and it all dances around to a long finish. By day 3, the fruit and the caramel notes are more subtle, and lemon and acid come to the forefront. It was very approachable on day1, but somehow I like the day 3 version more. The lemon and the caramel seem to dominate more on day3. Very nice wine. It's not as exciting as the Rock Salt. I've been comparing it against, but it was meant to drink now, and the rock salt was not. It seems to have enough structure to age for a few years, and I will try to hold on a few. Overall this will be a famous drinker at my house over the next year.
