Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Friday, June 21, 2019 - Decanted at 6pm and tasted over the next several hours. Not sure when I got this but I liked it more than I expected. As an entry level Pinot it is quite elegant and restrained, which I like, 13.8% ABV. Translucent light to medium ruby in color. Very pretty nose of rose petals, vanilla, baking spices and red cherry. Light texture and medium acidity with pretty low tannin. Palate shows a bit more spice than the nose along with the expected red cherry but there is also a slight medicinal note that I can’t decide if I like or not. On the finish which is moderately long you get a hint of cotton candy and a mineral overtone. This was equally good but slightly different both upon opening and after several hours, being more open and fruit driven with more air. My only bottle but by no means over the hill.
