Sunday, December 12, 2021 - Should you be interested, I’ve uploaded info for this vintage which you can peruse at your leisure. 😉

Private Preserve used after Day 1

N: Toast, poss a touch of vanilla, sltly atop quince with notes of limes; Later, a creaminess

P: Med body; Oak atop a modicum of frt met by a slightly astringent acidity which DOES pretty much mitigate as it evolves into a LONG, eventually reasonably pleasant finish. Though the night's COSTCO's Roasted Chx & Gnocchi in Lt Tom Sauce slightly increased the astringency, it nonetheless DID manage to cleanse the palate with its firmness. While NOT my preferred Sémillon approach, it's well made in its oaky/malolactic style.

// Days 4 & 5: Has faded aromatically, the creaminess now being predominant. On the P oak (with its bitterness/harshness) now QUITE dominant.

// ∑: Particularly towards the end I *really* sensed the "almost chardonnay like...viscous body" mentioned in the TN of 12/6/21. The low end of my EXC- (90 pts), though as I said in my TN of 9/22/21, higher for those > receptive to its oak/malo, flavors that will become > dominant as it ages further. 13.5% ABV.
