Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 15, 2020 - Blind: Blake nailed this one. I guessed Rhys Chardonnay that had seen 200% new oak. I know that doesn't exist but that's what it tasted like.

I know people like this style but there's zero chance but this will ever integrate because the wood is so dominant, it's in your face and it doesn't let up. Fascinating green hue in the glass, I'm wondering if it picked that up with age or was it bottled like that. It's a shame from my perspective because the basic fruit is very nice and has a nice glycerin texture with a flinty gunpowder aroma. For me I wish they would have just backed off the oak.

There was a half a bottle left over, kind of says it all in this crowd.
