Community Tasting Note

jdtonic Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 9, 2020 - out of wood
ruby red
splash decant

A reticent nose of red fruits, funk and yellow flowers. a fluid carnival atmosphere, with smoke, steam, and various other attention diversions and impediments to good taste —and tasting well- stole a point maybe, and another rolling party where the best company was french- and at work. (They assured me that the wine was outstanding. wink.)

The waiter mgr wished to add ‘champignons du bois’ to her profile. I agree that the red fruited palate was nice but shy — a little more plummy the next afternoon. Some spice emerging. Rose water. Ennui?

Admittedly, I felt she ~ Tasted Young ~ a ubiquitous term often used to defend the speedy monoliths.

I found myself searching out the word “precise” to describe the subtle palate of this wine— another term sometimes deployed to assuage the creeping realization that a 2016 rhys alpine would have a been a far wiser choice of beverage on Thursday. (But that’s on me, and not the Civil Society of Romanian Counts or anyone else.
