Community Tasting Note

• larsth wrote: 93 points

  September 4, 2022 - Obviously young but drinkable now although there will be much more to come. It did improve on day 2. Fragrant with mainly red fruits. Good clean fruit with some sweetness but a good mineral backbone. Tasting it against most of the PCG 2019 Pinot range at the vineyard, I personally like the combination of PCG with the Pommard clone and and the Weber Vineyard with its Dundee Hills soil in a more classic year like 2019, but again that is just my personal preference.

At the end of the tasting, I revisited the Weber. It now tasted tight,unyelding and was nothing like the first. It turns out the revisit was from a pop-n-pour. The transformation was so different, I went back into the tasting room and asked for (and witnessed) another pour from this new bottle.
  
  I kept the 6, but for my palate over the next 5 years, these bottles will get treated as the unfinished do at PG: opened the day before, recorked, no gas, and stored in the wine fridge.

Unfortunately I cannot get that PCG wine here in Denmark but would have loved to have a six-pack and let it rest for a number of years.
