Community Tasting Note

• MrOctoberfest Does not like this wine: flawed

  June 29, 2023 - This was the stinkiest and most reductive wine I’d ever encountered upon opening, but there is an incredible wine lurking underneath.
  
  EDIT:
  Oops, I was very wrong on this one. It had the potential to be good, but with an additional 2 hours of air, this was so mousy that I assumed that Didier Barral was the winemaker. As JVIZ points out, this wine gets minimal SO2, and the off flavors prove it. I’ve complained about this endlessly, but not sulfuring your wines is as careless as not using Diam corks.

In almost 150 notes below you don't find a single other mention of reduction - the bottle may well be flawed but that probably isn't it.
