Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - Excellent after about 10 minutes from pop and pour. The initial sips were rather disjointed and harsh but after a tiny bit of air it started to come together. Light purple colour, almost transparent colourless rim. Very bright acidity and flavours - pomegranate and raspberry. Hint of sweetness on the finish (not RS, but fruity sweetness) and not much oak influence. Huge minerality also - very lively wine. Not much earthiness or mushroom is my only kvetch with this one, but it's such a bright and extracted yet light wine that I don't actually miss it that much.
After another 20 minutes or so, some complexity is coming out, including something more gamey and a touch of earth - almost like pine forest.
The acid level in this wine is huge - I bet it has at least a decade left in it.

Good stuff, among my top 3 US PNs
