  Hosted a tasting for a longtime group of friends.
  Notes from day 1.
  N tropical, cream, lemon, mineral
  P bruised apple, cream, little citrus, nuts.
  F average finish, decent mouthfeel, and a little acidity
  Overall a memory wine that I was proud to have the smallest hand in many years ago, but was suprised that it showed better than anticipated at this advanced state.

  Epic Blind Tasting with Great Buds (Virginia): Golden colored. A gorgeous nose of white peach, whipped honey butter, apricot, with new tennis balls, some almond skin, corn husk -- really fascinating. Creamy texture and racy acidity with lovely balance and flavors of lemon bars, apricot, and orange peel. Complex notes of hay, ginger, almond cake, some croissants. I was ranting and raving about this wine. Blind guess: 2015 Cameron Clos Electrique. I love Hardscrabble but I was surprised at how well this was showing.
