Community Tasting Note

• JulianSkeels wrote: 92 points

  January 7, 2018 - This isn't alcoholic, but in keeping with my general experience of Janasse there is a pushed/roasted element that I didn't like. Lots of liquorice, good rounded mouthfeel, but really lacks balance and complexity for me compared with my favorite CdP producers. I've been selling all wines made by this producer in my cellar, and this affirms my decision... good but not great. 91-93pts

Add to that my general disappointment (relative to high expectations ) for 2007 Rhône and…your note doesn’t surprise me. Thanks for confirming what I already sort of suspected to be the case.
