Community Tasting Note

• gripNsip Likes this wine: 87 points

  January 10, 2014 - Reserved nose of dried cranberry, wet clay and something floral, edging toward roses. The nose is more interesting than immediately delicious. I'm going to agree with a previous user's comment that this is surprisingly easy on tannins for a Le Puits Sec, I would say this is drinking good now. Dark cherries lead into some cranberries and a strong herbal note as the wine is swallowed. The tannins pick up intensity the more you sip the wine, however they have a nice texture and don't overwhelm the mouth. This shows nicely balanced acidity. Overall not what I expected, perhaps a bit "boring" for a Le Puits Sec, this seems rather lazy compared to the nervous, somewhat energetic nature I expect from this wine.
