Community Tasting Note

  January 31, 2022 - January Rhônes (Chicago, IL): I have so much trouble with this wine. The red is handily one of the best wines made in France, but this one... "It's a freight train," said an extremely qualified professional at the table. Oily and spicy at the same time, but then the midpalate seems to evaporate into alcoholic fumes and some bitterness. A touch sweet but just lacking the freshness that I want in any wine. It's hard to see me wanting a glass of this with anything.
