Community Tasting Note

ProfByron Does not like this wine:

Wednesday, July 1, 2015 - Drink now.

First impressions are positive... with Pinot-esq flavour but with thicker tannin and an alcohol burn. But as the bottle went on the fruit turns dull plum (it will turn prune with a few more years) and the alcohol burn dominates. Without food the finish hurts (alcohol, acid and tannin). The tannins are silly, super extracted.

I could not drink half a bottle. Very good example of how wines can be made to impress on first taste.

Drink now, this will not get better. Best consumed in a busy setting (e.g. cafe) where you will give the first taste much more attention than others. Expensive cafe wine though!

14% ABV (tastes higher).
