Community Tasting Note

Mark Burnett Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 19, 2023 - Medium garnet in the glass and out of the decanter, with a 1/8” rim of orange.

Aromas of dried strawberry and red plum, with dried violet petals. A layer of tomato leaf follows and remains underneath.

Mouthfeel is dry, with medium body, medium plus acidity, and slowly attacking, delicate, yet medium plus tannins.

Flavors highlight the pyrazine, with that tomato leaf element in the nose making its way to the front and throughout the finish. Of the 5 first growths of the 1981 vintage, this one has the most pyrazine-forward structure. Underneath the lovely, bitter stemminess are the dried red fruits from the nose, that help to round out the experience. Delightful.
