Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 21, 2005 - Tasted (not blind) at Resurrection Cup I, 5/21/2005.

This was a beautiful sweet wine. On the night of the tasting, it showed excellent balance, with moderate sweetness, but there was a slight astringency on the finish. This wine showed much better on the next night, when the finish lengthened and the harshness on the finish had disappeared.

I just decided to pour myself another small glass as I type this, after it has been refrigerated for four days. It shows some cinnamon on the nose, with a bit of alcohol peeking through. On the palate, this has a full body, with apricots, oranges and Grand Marnier, and maybe a hint of honey (though it could be the texture more than the actual flavor). The alcohol does peek through on the finish, which is a little bit shorter than I remember from Sunday.

Still a very nice wine, and holding up well after four days.
