Community Tasting Note

  May 3, 2013 - Denis Mortet must have been in the experimental corner when he made ​​this. Not only is the well known 2004 greenies quite prominent in the glass, but this brew shows almost no pinot characteristics at all. The first half hour the wine is hard to like. Smells like alcohol, a green sting on the nose, it's like making love in a canoo... fucking close to water. At first I thought this has to be a bad bottle or completely on the way down the hill. After an hour though, it suddenly became quite good. Smells a bit unusual, almost like a cheap Italian. However, it tastes quite balanced and good, but not like a burgundie. Is this a blend of syrah? Seems like it.. After another half hour greenies return as a kick in the nose. The taste is suddenly a little dry. I've never completely understood the Coccinella-phobia, but there is a certain aspect to this wine that resembles some 2004-burgs I've tasted earlier. But I do not have the habit of munching ladybugs, so I can not be sure what this is. The balance starts to disappear as well. Acidic and tannic.
  
  The conclusion must be that this is not the best legacy Denis the wine-magician left behind. If you drink a Mortet tonight, drink any other bottle than this.
