Community Tasting Note

rikipedia Likes this wine:

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 - Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Pommard (The Fat Butcher, Stellenbosch): (Tasted Blind): A light+ ruby colour with an orange rim. Fresh and youthful, with cherry cola with dried tarragon, mineral and rhubarb notes suggesting stem inclusion.
A vibrant entry with earthier tones, musk sweets, dried fruits, and coriander seeds. Firmly textured with chalky undertones, the tannins build to form more puckering notes on the back palate. Becomes a little foursquare for a Burgundy, with a hot cayenne pepper spike on the finish. However, whilst it lacks length and at times feels hard work and more than a little challenging it was still a fair example of Pommard with its more powerful frame and more black cherry, redcurrants and crushed stone quality. Will improve.
