2018 Domaine de la Renardière Ploussard Arbois Pupillinmore |
3/22/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis is a strange wine. Tons of strawberry on the nose and in the taste - almost like a fruit punch. Had a slight bit of that french funk too. Drank 1/2 the bottle on night one because my guests really did not go for this one as it was too far outside the "normal" wine experience. I drank the rest of the bottle on day two and can say it did not get any better. So, if you want an unusual wine, give this a try, but steer clear if you want a traditional flavor profile. |

1/12/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine: NRThis one tasted great straight from the bottle after pulling cork. It tasted so good that I thought to myself "This is why I buy this wine". Unfortunately after about an hour the alcohol took over and the flavors became muted and I was disappointed I didn't drink the wine quickly enough. 15.8% ABV so maybe not surprising. |

12/22/2020 - losososjoe wrote: 89 pointsThis one was effervescent upon opening. Drank about a quarter of the bottle and then the rest on night two. When I pulled the cork on day two it popped like a champagne cork. In the end, I thought second night was better than first. Nothing wrong with the wine, but it pales in comparison to the Linne Calodo first label. |
