Community Tasting Note

  • Mike Kopanski wrote: 87 points

    March 10, 2015 - Everything was going along fine on this wine with my drinking partner, until my palate got to the the brettanomyces. Deep rich dark color. To me a funky nose, but everyone else was enthralled. There was plum and sandalwood and baking spice with something savory, but also something weedy, stemmy and briny. There is enough fresh upfront fruit with underlying structure for this wine to merit the acceptance it has. Hate to rain on the parade, but the brett diminished the fruit, brought on a tree sap flavor, ruined the mouth feel, and left me disappointed, alongside some people who loved it.
