Community Tasting Note

93 Points
Friday, December 24, 2021 - Christmas Eve 2021 (Home): Pale yellow, the aromas are mineral, crushed rocks, chalk, lemon and lime zest even some raw meat.
The entry has penetration and breadth with a lovely oatmeal, chalk and mineral grip. As fresh as a daisy, the core contains a strident acidity and robust mid-palate texture containing cooked Bramley apple, Forelle pear and crushed rocks. A clipped wine it races to a long finish.

I think it is largely to do with the combination of the CY548 clone (80%) that adds the raw meat whilst the CY166 clone (20%) may be the aniseed or musky notes. Here in SA, I use the CY548 and often get both the raw meat, stony notes alongside aniseed and assume there is a relationship in the clone rather than soil.
