2019 Florent Descombe Fleurie

Community Tasting Note

85 Points

Thursday, February 10, 2022 - Reasonably complex layers of red fruit and stone. White flowers and perhaps a hint of topsoil. Mouth coating with fresh raspberry and a bit of cream but certainly not creamy. There is a note of cheap tasting wood. Not sure what the oak treatment was here. Absolute searing acidity to the point where it is offputting due to the imbalance. However, this wine did pair well with seared trout and chimichurri. I would not recommend buying more but it was a nice drinking experience. Decanted 4 hours. 85

Following day: Relatively astringent and bitter with not much to offer. Honestly, quite disappointing.
