Just a wonderful BB which we could honestly drink everyday if we had enough, prior notes still apply:
Nose has pear juice, ripe yellow apple, lightly oxidized green apple peel, baked phyllo dough, partially aromatic white flowers and damp rocks. I always get a natural wine vibe here, without the vinegar-like profile, but it seems alive!
Palate has baked green and yellow apple pastry, crisp acidity yet dense, candle wax begins on the finish and ends with dry granite. Great balance, very lengthy finish, clean and not cumbersome, superb vintage, long life ahead.

Picking up a juiced pear on the nose today, but otherwise prior notes still apply:

Gorgeous nose. Baked apple, ripe fresh apple, mineral, lanolin, so so aromatic, fresh herbs. Tree bark. Stunning depth to the aromas. Palate is dense and elegant with superb freshness and a dominant mineral palate. Juicy and long. Energetic and super delineated. What a finish. Brilliant!

Jan 26th, 2020On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero (Nashville Symphony director) is leading SCHOENBERG (Friede auf Erde, Opus 13 (Peace on Earth), for unaccompanied chorus) and BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Opus 125).
The 9th by Beethoven is always bittersweet for us, as it marks the end of the official Symphony and Pops season for the BSO at their Summer home. It is a wonderful and singularly emotive moving piece, with the full force of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus at 250+ singers, conveying the message of a divine spark of joy that makes all people one.
'Freude, schöner Götterfunken!' / 'Joy, beauteous, godly spark!'

Old reliable strikes again. Nose of Apple, pear tart and loads of minerals. Some intense secondary minerality as well. Gorgeous and super clean. Palate is crisp and clean with lovely balance and purity. Very fresh. Really juicy and a wonderful tactile sense of grip. So compact. Delightful.

On open ...Nose has some smoke. Palate is citrus rind. Very mineral.
-as it opens very clean mineral opulence if that makes sense Nose is improving as well. Smoke disappears and it’s very mineral.
Just a very different wine. Such a unique style.
Bought from fass selections.
