Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 2, 2014 - A bit disappointing and definitely ready--almost on its right shoulder-- to drink. This was highly touted at a fine restaurant and I expected a Pape or Allemande experience. Instead, this wine was pleasant, nicely made but had a more genericized flavor profile which did not emphasize the gutsy side of Cornas nor the fiery pepper of the syrah. The nose was restrained and the dark cherry notes were muted, with an almost merlot like smoothness. It was tough to coax out the more typical earthy, brighter cherry tones.
