Community Tasting Note

• JRockEsq wrote: 83 points

  May 26, 2023 - Method: 1 hour, 20 minute decant; 62 degrees; Grassl Cru
  
  Look: pale plum/garnet
  
  Nose: cranberry, sandalwood, allspice, spruce, cedar
  
  Palate: cranberry, orange peel, pine; long+ finish of bitter dried herbs, minterality, black pepper, orange peel; dry medium body; high acidity; medium- superfine tannin
  
  Overall thoughts: Bitter, acidic, and not tons of fruit; also not very complex. Definitely a huge let down and the worst Marcassin I've had (but I've only had a few). I'm really hoping this was an off bottle since I have 11 more, but on its own, it didn't seem noticeably flawed. Mediocre wine.
