Community Tasting Note

Beerzebub Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 6, 2012 - A slightly reductive note like shrimp paste, interesting and agreeable enough not to warrant the immersion of a penny, along with sweet earthy roasted root vegetables, black pepper, a bit of dark chocolate, and some restrained fruit. There's certainly a spicy pungency to it, something like turnips rubbed with shrimp paste. Pretty deep and interesting. Palate is earthy, mineral, tannic, and tart, with much more fruit than the nose but the fruit's not exactly fruity (cherry-rhubarb?). Excellent wine, mondeuse continues to intrigue me and seems to offer a nonsensical complexity-price-ratio.

Second night: fruit is much more open, cherry-plum, much smoother and more elegant, no reduction, quite enjoyable.
