Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 24, 2020 - Oak, citrus, toasted almonds on the nose. The palate has creamy oak, more almonds, lemons, round mouthfeel. This is interesting, balanced, maybe a tad over mature for my taste buds, which is a shame given the price. It's good, but that good? I'm not so sure. Definitely benefited from 1-2h of air time, it was not impressive (to be kind) after PnP. I gave this a score of 89 on Day 1.

In the fridge over night and it is like an entirely different wine on Day 2. Wow, *much* *much* better, I'm getting the "harmonious integration" now, salinity, melon, limestone, butterscotch, oak, round mouthfeel, meyer lemons, really fantastic. For me this is more muted on the nose, citrus, hints of oak, and that's about it. I scored this 91 on day 2.

I will have to remember to give this a really long (3-4h) decant before serving the next bottle.
