Community Tasting Note

• scott w Likes this wine: 93 points

  November 5, 2014 - My first Biggio Hamina pinot and one hell of a bottle! Floral on the nose, earth barnyard bright cherry, herbs and some darker fruit very complex balanced with brilliant acidity, and some grip, some percentage of whole cluster I don't know? all wrapped in a nicely balance package from start to finish. I thought about this bottle for two days. Very well made wine.

  Dulcie easy big fella it's a old joke from a long ago thread.

  11/7/14, 9:30 AM - Oh, thanks for the clarification; perhaps I should have guessed as much

  11/7/14, 2:48 PM - Indeed Dulcie. I adore 2007 pinot. We can trade any and all of my 06, 08, and 09 for those 07s. I love those "cold" years. (2010 and 2011 too!)
  
  BTW: Have enjoyed your analyses on many bottles over the years. We appear to have similar tastes in some wines. Thanks
