Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 15, 2010 - Unless there's some bottle variation I don't know how you can't pick up the smoke on this. I am a big fan of Anthill and opened this with an open mind and was hoping some of the other notes that showed smoke taint were more or less just imaginery. When first opened the showed lots of campfire so into the decanter it went for an hour. Poured the first glass and the campfire aromas didn't seem as strong, but were still there. On the palate there is lovely red fruits that on there own would make this a typical Anthill pinot, but the smoke reappears on the finish and is quite distracting. I drank 3 glasses over a 3 hour period which with the hour in the decanter gave this 4 full hours of air and if nothing else the campfire palate got worst. I now will always know what smoke tainted wine is like ( a learning experience to say the least).
