Community Tasting Note

• patrick h Likes this wine: 88 points

  February 15, 2023 - Pour to almost brick hue with typical and pleasurable burgundy characteristics, namely violet and mushroom. Nose feels warm, subdued fruit notes (almost gone?), more violet and mushroom. Alcohol hits fairly hot and early on the palate, giving way to decent acidity and more mushroom and violet, some cassis. Tannins seem absent and the mouthfeel is less balanced than what I’d want from a bourgogne. No velvet mouthfeel. However overall while not complex it is quite pleasurable and quaffable with that wonderful burgundy aroma and taste. Scoring this a burgundy pinot 88 (much higher than a CA cab 88). At under $35 with tax in 2023 USD it is a great though not unbeatable value. Drink now.
