Community Tasting Note

  January 15, 2013 - Agree wholeheartedly with previous taster. This tastes like Rhone Syrah (Northern) to me.
  
  What really bothers me the most is the lack of character and the brash style. The nose is plagued by too much new french oak, we could barely smell anything else. Some of the oak eventually blew off but there simply is just too much of it.
  
  And then there is the problem with how (overly) concentrated the wine is - it sports a very dark almost opaque color and the palate is quite rich and tannic.
  
  There's no question this needs time but come on.
  I was really looking forward to this as this is my first Ponsot.
  
  A bit disappointed.
