2009 Aston Pinot Noir Estate
Community Tasting Note
kevinpatrick Likes this wine:
Tuesday, August 24, 2021 - CLT Wine Dinner (Mini-LMHB vertical, Aged 20+ yr Napa, and Aged 10+ yr Pinot) (Charlotte, NC): Double decant 90 minutes before serving; Could have used 2 hours or more.
Color: Solid and dense coloring of dark blackberry; would have guessed a 3 year old Napa Cabernet on looks alone
Nose: Ask someone else because I hate dill and I hate American oak and that overwhelmed anything I could pick up; The aromas integrated hours later but I had given up on the nose of this wine by this point
Palate: Big and chewy; Excellent and softening flavors of ripe black raspberry and black cherry with a note of spice. Comparatively simple and more straightforward relative to the 05 Burgundy but no less flavorful. If you like Thomas Rivers Brown you will like this wine. Good thing I like TRB.
Finish: Long and flavorful.
Good tonight; this wine can easily age another 5+ years with little fear of falling off.
