Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - Very disappointing. The color was extremely cloudy and the flavor was a muddy mish-mosh. There were good flavors, cherry and some integrated cola with minerality, but there was too much imprecision. Was this a flawed bottle? Hard to say. It wasn't corked, it wasn't oxidized, I don't think it was cooked, but it's a marginal wine that had enough interesting components to justify an 83 score, but I desperately wanted to put it through some kind of filter to to sort out the good stuff from the bad stuff. I love TRB wines and I've had great bottles of his cabs, grenache and zinfandel. I haven't had a RM pinot in a few years and I do not really remember what they were like when I popped a few on release. Does this note ring a bell with anyone or is it just a freak bottle?
