Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 7, 2011 - Nose: Black fruits with herbs. Really nice.

Taste: Tastes like a wine which was just relesed. Still very primary but just starting to take on secondary characteristics. Brambly dark fruits with a jesty acidity which adds a wild streak to the wine.

Overall: I don't know what to make of this wine. I received a six-pack as a gift on release and this was the last bottle. My first experience with any vintage of Beaux Freres and I had the wine all wrong. Last year my third bottle effused autumn and was full of secondary characteristics. My last two bottles appeared to fall apart after an hour lose their fruit. Now it appears that my previous bottles were, although expressive, sleeping and shut down.
