Community Tasting Note

• Epic Tale wrote: 83 points

  August 6, 2012 - 3/18/13 - another bottle, opened a day ago - taste: like licking tart strawberry essence from a (very clean) rock, to paraphrase a previous review, and followed by a medium-length vegetal flinty finish; overall: while I respect that this pour may please other palates, it's not a style I favor
  
  8/6/2012 - 86 points - color: bright raspberry x light purple -- nice! nose: faint floral and candy; taste: lean mouth feel, cranberry taste, medium-length finish consisting of tart apple and chalk; overall: balanced Old World pour, probably better served with food (smoked salmon or cheese?) than by itself -- but, ultimately, neither my style nor a great value ($19).

  12/4/12, 7:33 PM - I have to say...I think smoked salmon would kill this wine deader than a doornail - the metallic underbelly of this beast would clash with the salmon skin to me. But palates differ - that's the beauty. If you try the pairing, let me know how it goes.
