Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - Sure I was tipped off on the "taint," so I got the same impression as many others. On day 1, definite campfire on the nose, with the occasional more offensive wisp of wet ashtray. This was mostly gone by day 2 and 3, but this wine, while certainly drinkable, was nowhere near the class of the '07 single vineyards. Seemed like a hollow shell of the better AF wines, with lower acidity, darker fruit, and a somewhat diluted midpalate. The finish was short and marred by bitterness. A cool science experiment but I'm happy I only bought 2. I have better expectations for the Peters and Comptche but won't be testing that hypothesis any time soon.
