Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 - There is nothing at all defective with this Premier Cru Burgundy from the eminent house of Jadot, but it does nothing special to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the firm. Some mild cherry, orange oil, and leather notes suffice for aroma. The palate is leathery and structured, but undistinguished, unless one likes faint strawberry jam.
It actually comes across more like a $12.99 Trader Joe's central coast of California Pinot Noir, inoffensive, rather ripe, but without breed or elegance. Something of a rip-off. Five bottles left. May the taste improve. 4 + 10 +10 + 6

I wanted this wine to be delicious and it wasn't. PN is so unpredictable and stumps me more than most any other varietal (up there with Grenache). It can be spectacular but too often just lacks any appeal, cerebral or sensual.
