Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 19, 2014 - One of several bottles opened at Dabrowski's with wings from the BGE. Quickly double decanted before taking over to Joe's. Upon pouring it was clear that this was an elegant Pinot waiting to be explored. I truly believe this is a wine that old world and new world alike can enjoy. At first it seemed a little tight with vibrant fruit, something I might expect from a younger wine. A few hours and it was showing nuanced favors of an aged Pinot such as baking spice, or a pie from the oven. Fast forward a few more hours and the nose was straight Burgundy. Tea leaves, mushroom, dirt, etc. just tasted like a fine aged Burgundy. I was stunned at the transformation of the wine over the course of six hours. As has been said many times, Arcadian seems to be overlooked, but I would put one of Joe's aged pinots against any domestic Pinot. This bottles has years left in my opinion. Drink now or hold for who the hell knows how long.
