2008 d'Autrefois Pinot Noir

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

82 Points

Saturday, October 30, 2010 - Fairly dark for a pinot, especially for one from France. On the nose, this is aromatically challenged. Very light, sweet cherry notes and a touch of Tums-like chalkiness is all you get from the aroma side. On the palate, this starts well. There is good, fresh strawberry flavor and a touch of characteristic cola, with no major flaws save for maybe a touch of bitterness. Unfortunately, this wine pulls a Casper the Friendly Ghost. It is very pleasant, but then it simply disappears. It is just way too simple and light, even though what flavors you get are well-balanced. Not sure on the price point, but at anything over $10, this is a clear pass for me, and I'm not 100% sure even then.
