Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 12, 2015 - Liked it, didn't love this wine. At least, not at this point anyhow. Unexpectedly ripe and somewhat jammy rich. Maybe, with time this comes together better and sings?? ALC 14%. Ha, I got sucked in by the very cool old school packaging but, the wine inside is actually much more modern in style. Reminds me too much of a Dugat Py Gevrey Chambertin or a Pavie. A little over the top at this point. The producer's notes, which I should have read first, call it "opulent and sensual". Not, tasting notes I gravitate towards:). Sadly, also a poor pairing with Nita's Dijon chicken and shrooms hoagies tonight. Should have reached for a red Burg or Cru Beaujolais. Paid $25 and was hoping to love this wine. Only bought one btl from K&L who has a great Rioja selection. K&L is a great place to get a mixed six pack of Riojas you may not have tried before.
