  After the barnyard funk blew off, the wine was a light berry fruited/bitter finish wine that I probably should have opened a few years back. It was well preserved but nothing special at this point in its existence.

  Burnt raquetball on the nose and palette and packing some funk -- not the most pleasant bottle unless you are into that kind of thing...

  Strawberries on the nose followed by Cranberries on the palate. Paired extremely well with the roast chicken and cranberry relish accompaniment. Just spot on. Delightful, smooth, balanced, decent finish.
  
  Another Rosenthal mystery wine. All the back label says is how great Rosenthal is. Nothing about the wine or producer at all. I happen to know Jura wines (thanks to Rosenthal ironically) and this is middle of the pack, good solid drinkable red Trousseau. Nicely done.

  La couleur rappelle le pinot noir de bourgogne… Le nez pinote également un peu, on y trouve des arômes de petits fruits rouges, des épices et de la menthe et une pointe animale. En bouche le vin possède une bonne acidité, des tanins fins.. et des saveurs déroutantes : toujours ce côté animal mais prononcé avec aussi beaucoup de tabac. En fait, ces saveurs (pas la texture) me rappelle quelques Pinotage sud africains… Texture délicate mais rusticité dans les saveurs. Au moins il a du caractère et j'aime bien cette élégance apparente avec les petits fruits rouges et les tanins fins qui cache un caractère plus rustique. Une vrai vin de caractère. Acheté une quinzaine d'euros prix caviste.
  16/20

  Liked this a lot. No contemporaneous notes...the nose was typical for me of the Jura with high toned delicate fruit. On the palate some light tannin initially that dissipated, then refreshing acidity, minerality and fruit flavors perhaps darker than the pomegranate I often get from Poulsard and Jura pinot. Really nice.
  My discrete CT scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor
