Community Tasting Note

• ISOPinot Likes this wine: 86 points

  April 18, 2019 - Garnet with slight tinges of orange; medium legs, rim variation consistent with age. Aromas are first of the earth:dust, forest floor, mushroom, garrigue and subtle straw and stems. Minimal red fruit: red currant, raspberry, cranberry. On the palate, earth aromas still dominate and red fruit persists, but is subtle. Tannins mainly from wood. Light/medium body, narrow to linear texture, medium finish, medium acidity. Impression: somewhat complex, not quite balanced due to dominant earth notes. At $22, QPR is average. A nice introduction to Spatburgunder, but would seek out lower-priced options before repurchasing this. Drink now or in 2020.
