Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 7, 2018 - Prior bottle was almost exactly a year ago and this wine continues to show extremely well. Nose remains a mixture of whitefruit (especially apple and peach) and citrus notes (especially lemon and tart orange), mixed with mineral qualities. Medium bodied and the general profile showed nearly identical to the prior bottle: white orchard fruit initially (peach and apple), excellent mid-body density/increased complexity and then spectacular finish with a combination of vibrant acidity and tart, citrus notes. Retains plenty of mineral and floral notes on the backside/finish. What set this wine apart for me (and what I felt justified the higher-than-typical score) were two things: (1) the mid-body concentration, density and complexity and (2) the transition to the finish and the overall fruit/acidity balance. This wine has the tartness and dryer, more citrus-based notes you expect from a kabinett, but it's coupled with more complexity than I typically find at this level, noticeably more depth and better balance. Based on the fruit and acidity, this will last (and improve) for years. As I particularly enjoy the interplay between the fruit and acidity at this stage, I will probably open my next bottle in November 2019 and purchase more immediately.
