Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 20, 2016 - Very dark ruby, no real sign of age, with an expected nose of ripe black followed by red fruits. The palate is full, as the nose suggests, and the acidity, while lower than I prefer, was enough to keep it layered and interesting. Probably on the backside of its preferred part of the curve, this is both delicious and mature at this stage and should probably be consumed before 2019 for the best showing. This followed a 2011 Rhys Bearwallow, and while they're two quite different styles and regions, the Rhys was easily more Pinot-like, more complex and ultimately a little more enjoyable. recommended

PnP, served non-blind.
