Community Tasting Note

  • Matt Neel Likes this wine:

    March 26, 2015 - Wines and friends with lovely little Adira, and Seth and Keshet; chez them: Well-bricked ruby, obviously used to be a fairly deep blood. Big, earthy nose showing its age; nice vegetal character, fortunately just this side of canned asparagus/green beans; petrichor; canned mandarin oranges; a little stewed tomato; really nice. Sweet entry on palate; fruit fading a bit to tannin, structured, but still alive with lovely, earthy cherry; tomato; an edge of lacquer/Elmer's glue. Good length, tasty. Nothing to wait for anymore -- drink up but in no hurry.

    [Note: This vineyard is more commonly spelled "Epenotes" and borders Pommard's Les Petits Epenots; this could easily have been guessed as a Pommard with its structure and longevity.]
