Community Tasting Notes 4

  April 10, 2016 - Nice proper lambrusco. The bitter notes are very prominent. There's a touch of chalkiness and fruit. Definitely a food wine.

  December 26, 2014 - Much less fruit forward, sullen, withdrawn and even shy than I was expecting. Dark red color, muted nose with evidence of plum, on the palate it was almost dry with a nod towards bubbles and fizz and fun, but never loosing its restraint.
  
  Interesting. Serious stuff. Not your run of the mill Lambrusco. Wow.

  June 1, 2014 - traditional method Lambrusco... this sounded interesting. The nose is interesting; chalky, fresh black fruits, scorched earth, autumn leaves. There's something wild and a bit funky there, but it's subtle. The palate, to me, is a mess. It's intensely bitter, even a bit sour (some sort of yeast and/or bacteria running wild, I suspect), with a Gueuze component that I've found in other faulty wines. All that pleasant stuff from the nose is there, but it's SO bitter and sour that I can't even enjoy it. I'm going to leave it open for a while and try it later, but I think this one's going down the drain. It's a shame, because when I first smelled it, I thought it was the best Lambrusco I've ever had. The disconnect from such an impressive nose to something that I actually find undrinkable is a huge letdown.
  
  I've had other Lambrusco that I've really liked, but none have been this complex. I notice that they proudly proclaim organic wine with no added SO2. I think that's the problem... What a shame. The raw materials for this must have been fantastic. If it tasted as good as it smelled, I would be completely captivated.
