13%
Initial aromas:
(riedel bdx)
huitlacoche, some blueberry, higher tone, tone of.... some chemical.... airport.... it's taking over... menthol/vegetal
(doug's pinot bowl)
Still that menthol note, but not as much
Tastes: First round:
Nicely textured, a little tartness peaking through on the midpalate, somewhat more green and unripe than the Chambolle. murky grey-green. Not doing much. unripe low+ tannins and tartness on the finish - short. meh
Tastes: Second Round:
quite green. Kirk mentioned that it's more tannic than he realized - I agree. Med tannins. 83
