Community Tasting Note

• millerarner wrote: 89 points

  June 9, 2019 - If I’d read my own note on this from last year, I wouldn’t have opened another one yet. More unbalanced than before. Still showing young as far as color and fruit character, so there’s no rush in that regard, but presently it’s too awkward. Also quite reduced as others have mentioned, apparently to the point that in-bottle development is stunted. The body & nose make it seem more like an old world Mourvèdre than what it is. Served blind, even an experienced taster might be unlikely to identify this as a Pinot in its current state, and if I was scoring this strictly on varietal typicity I’d knock off a few more points. Long exposure to air did help, so hopefully time will resolve some of the issues.
