Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 1, 2009 - Bottle #1: NYD 2007. I liked but wasn't wowed. My Pinot pal who doesn't like Burg.-styled pinots could get past the nose. Other palates didn't really comment. Bottle #2: Opened 27 Feb 2009, lots of beautiful purple lees on the cork. WHOA is that some funk on the nose! Right there a lot of folks would put it down, I happen to love that smell- IF it is backed up by beautiful fruit which this was. Maybe it was released a little too early, if possible... Had a glass (over time) and saved half the bottle for next night (vacuvin'd)- a bit mellower on the nose and acid the second day. So, tons of funk, rotting forest floor, and then smooth, sour cherry fruit on the palate. Very lithe on the tongue, but pretty darn silky for the weight. I felt acidity was strong, but not electric battery acid as others got. One more bottle to try, and I think it will be relatively soon.
