Community Tasting Note

  March 26, 2020 - Blood colored and very pale -- looks like a much older wine. On the palate...feh. Faint cranberries and poopy diapers. This tastes like a chemistry experiment gone bad. Open in the glass for 5 hours -- it never improved. I like Tissot wines, but when you don't add SO2, bad things can happen and bad things happened. Provenance is perfect, so I can only fault the winemaker.
  
  A note about the score: this wine is flawed, but it seems to be flawed because of the decision not to add sulfur. Since this was a conscious choice of the winemaker, I believe it's fair to score what is in the bottle, as that was always a possible outcome of natural winemaking. If anything, I worry that I scored the wine too highly.
