DWaterman Does not like this wine: 76 points
September 2, 2019 - Not sure what was going on with this bottle. I remember seeing this at a local wine shop for $275 as it was touted as greatness. Upon opening, the nose of funk was so strong I thought it was a bad bottle.
After letting it open up, it was approachable but not good at all. Reminded me of a northern Rhône vs Pinot noir. There wasn’t much there to remark about.
Tried again the next day and it did not improve at all. Very disappointing showing here. I had several bottles of the 2011 eola amity and they were all solid offerings.1 person found this helpful 2,203 views
