Introduction

Wonderful Shiraz

Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2004 Hartford / Hartford Court Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 88 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast

    My number is low mainly because of the alcoholic finish. After being open in a bottle for about 4 hours, it subsided some, but I still felt the alcoholic finish really took from the wine.

    86 after day 2. Otherwise, an interesting complexity of flowery red fruit, pencil, and I guess that's cloves. Without the alcoholic finish, I think it would have been 90. Have just less than half of a bottle left, let's see tonight or tomorrow.

    On a side note, I looked on both labels and failed to find an alcohol %. Please post one if anyone finds one.

    Refridgerated and vacu-vinned, and tasted again 5 days later. No bad alcoholic finish now. Rating up to 88.
