Domaine Serene Evenstead Vertical
Tasted Monday, May 3, 2010 by Alex H with 847 views
Introduction
A vertical of a relatively new winery that has caused waves by apparently beating DRC, Leroy and other notable burgundy estates in a blind tasting.
Flight 1 - Evenstead Vertical (6 Notes)
Flight 2 - Other Serenes tasted (2 Notes)
Closing
Not totally convinced of the superiority of their pinots yet. The wines while decently good were not mind blowing as some burgs I have tasted.

Sweet but with interesting spicyness as well. Excellent spiced red berries. Focused and polished. Kinda pretty. Somewhere between a NSG extract and a chambolle. Drink nicely now but would age.

Rusty , bloody, red ferrous fruits. Cool but ripe fruits, noticeable extract. Brambly , somewhat spicy dark red fruits. Well made for a hot vintage but vintage imprint still visible.

Stewed fruits, cherries, chambolle prettiness backed by light coffee nose. Pretty and sweet cutesy fruits. New worldish oregon but contrilled with some bur like earthiness.

LEather, manure and saddle? Black earthy and very horsey. Dark licourice with gingseng roots and a lot of funky barnyard flavours and bretty. Very earthy, like biting on a piece of dried bark with sweet berries sandwiched in between. If this was a rhone, I prob would have liked it more.

Lightl soy , light dried earth, savory cherries make up a charming nose. Savory roots, minerality backed, very earthy and truffly almost like a gevry.

Caramel tofee? or something similarly sweet. Oregon strawberry fruits. Comfy wine with a bunch of dry leaves, earthy , cigarette ash and touch of menthol. Delicate and low toned.
