Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 6, 2013 - Hmm... Very very strange indeed. Typical Pinot light raspberry appearance, spicy nose of cloves and white pepper and then... an unusually earthy wine with a touch of carbonation! Almost like one of those weird "natural" wines that have the consistency of lager beer, but more refined. Good, firm acidity, elegant touch of oak, and a graceful balance between sweetness and pepperiness, with an attractive core of fresh strawberry fruit. Very good in fact, but not sure about this fizzy element... Maybe decanting and a bit of vigorous shaking is required? Too weird for me.

It's very mineral and earthy and that comes with it's own sensation. Hard to describe really, but not uncommon. And not wierd to me at all :) I really enjoyed it.
