Community Tasting Note

lozatron Likes this wine:

Monday, July 31, 2023 - Sunday night with home-made Devon Wagyu burgers: Picked up a bottle with a damaged label at what seemed like an excellent price. I understand there is some cynicism about this wine in general - but keen to see whether "all 98 N Rhone is awesome" holds true. The nose is earthy, some damp embers, a bit of funk that may or may not be brett. On the palate - there's initially a bit of funk but that goes away after a few minutes, there's a kind of purity of fruit to it along with the earthiness and savouriness and smoke. This is almost thrilling - not in a Cornas-like way, a little less high-toned, but really lovely. Not sure how much further this has to go but if this is a typical bottle - drink 'em if you got 'em.
