Community Tasting Note

John III Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 23, 2024 - Decanted for 2 hours. Drank half the bottle with garlic chicken thighs recipe my brother sent to me, along with ratatouille and a couple of slices of a lovely rice batard from Whole Foods. This wine smelled heavenly from the moment I opened the bottle. Wine had traveled about halfway up the cork, with a more slender line of it nearing the top of the cork. The cork was perfectly intact. After a couple of hours, I took my first sip. It had none of the astringency that younger pinots often have. This wine had had enough time to settle, with none of the grippy tannins or sharp edges that younger wines often have. This was all about big and bold red fruits, while the flavor settled so gently and lightly into the mouth. None of the heaviness of cabernets. The aromas of blood and raspberries confused perfectly with the rich red fruit flavors. Save your Burgundies. Then enjoy them while saving a moment to pray to the vinter's health.
