Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 29, 2023 - PnP from a perfectly stored bottle since release. Very pale color especially considering the age. Delicious and rather ethereal in it's light and airy disposition out of the gate. Lemon, green apple, almonds and baked goods are all here and give a hint of what is yet to come. There is a fatty textural smoothness that is perfectly balanced by just the right amount of acidity. The longer this is open the more saline notes emerge on the finish and the wine keeps putting on textural weight. 45 minutes in, and now this is really humming. More intensity on both aromatics and flavors, with greater mouth grip on the mid palate and the finish. More tropical nuances, pineapple and starfruit come to mind, more sea air than chalk, but throughout this is insanely balanced. Mouth watering and oh so smooth - it's hard to put the glass down. The drinking experience is not dissimilar to a good Corton Charlie. I can't see how this can get better but hopefully bottles in this condition will continue at this level for a while. Simply glorious.
