Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 14, 2014 - Odd.... this bottle seems at the right sort of balance for drinking. Hot-climate smells of herbs and fruit. Nice dusty bouquet. Bit of acetone. Slightly animally. Sois bois. Well put together, but lacking complexity. I've had four of these now, and each has - in its own way - been a slight disappointment. A bit like Bandol in character, but not as wild. Even a bit like Struma valley reds, but more feminine. Lacking minerally interest, and that special "lifted" something that inhabits good Burgundy and Spatburgunder. Maybe it's strawberries I'm missing; just specificity: too broad and heavy? All frustratingly earthbound and prosaic whatever the reason. (89+)
