Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 7, 2010 - Tasted double blind, I found this very ripe, with a bit of spice. Had an airy alcoholic feel to the nose. Guessed this was a Rhone varietal CA wine... wrote "not crazy about this". Guessed Turley zin, 2002-2007.

As with the Marcassin, felt bad that I didn't dig the wine so much given how generous a donation this was, but glad I got to assess it without being influenced by the fame of the brand. With a few hours of air, after the reveal, this did improve a lot and was quite good by the end of the night (but not extraordinary or beyond other high quality CA Rhone wines I've had).
