Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - It's a celebration, bitches. (Dave gets a new job) (Dave's House): Popped and poured, followed over approximately an hour and a half. The nose here is reminiscent of southern Rhone, with notes of sweet cherries, iodine, spice, a touch of horse stable, earth, finishing with a light note of saline/sea air. On the palate, more sweet red fruits, earth and spice. Slightly elevated acidity serves as a necessary counterbalance to the sweetness of the fruit. Finish is of moderate length. Overall, this bottle did not show the complexity of previous bottles, but this could be due to the infamous bottle variation. This was a rather clean bottle, and I would have preferred a bit more brettanomyces to add further interest.
