Community Tasting Note

WineKnurd Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 13, 2021 - Decanted before serving, recommend an extended 30 min + decant as the nose is definitely a bit closed at first. KID45$ is right about this being a darker Pinot- black cherry kirsch and barnyard funk, all very clean, pure, and classic Burgundy. Palate is very much black cherry kir with the depth bordering into ruby port territory; add in notes of caramel, toast, and cedar spice with the barnyard funk working its way back in on the retro-nasal path. There is a nice bit of development on the palate with the introduction of cola nut like flavors along with the tart black cherries. Surprising balance between the acidity, oak, and tannin while the fruit is still very primary. Definitely feels like this has a good but of life left in it. Under $50 from JJB, no complaints from Da 'Knurd on that. Overall Evaluation: A- (91).
