Community Tasting Note

  • ucbeau Does not like this wine: 82 points

    April 27, 2013 - Too much brett at this stage. It overpowers the nose with aromas of band-aid and barnyard. Beyond that does like some interesting notes of blueberry and blackberry bramble, tar, and exotic spice. On the palate the brett is similarly manifest, distracting from the ripeness and peppery flavors that would otherwise show this to be a tasty wine.
