2010 Fattoria Galardi Terra di LavoroRoccamonfina IGT Aglianico more |
11/7/2017 - bonedoc wrote: NRJust tried this wine and thought it was tainted, so I opened another bottle and it tasted the same. The concern is the smokiness and pepper which dominate the finish. Maybe this is the fruit profile of this wine, or maybe the barrel that both of these bottles are from was tainted - my guess is the latter. Anyone have any input? ADDENDUM: after feedback from other CT'er's, i'm thinking this is perhaps the fruit profile rather than a flaw, but for me any component of a wine that dominates the palate makes the wine less appealing to me. 3 people found this helpful, do you?

2006 Kistler Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
10/9/2013 - bonedoc wrote: 88 pointsFairly disappointing for a kistler. I overrated this wine in the past, but really never liked it. Frankly, hot, bitter, and lacking acidity and fruit - pinot Noir should not be this way. It's not a bad wine, just not up to Kistler standards. 1 person found this helpful, do you?
