Community Tasting Note

  October 11, 2020 - If glassed wine can appear black, this wine is black. Ripe fruit, perfume, and herbs on the nose, may take a few minutes for the olfactory challenged. A mouthful for sure, an interesting mouthful, blackberry jam, a tang of acid skin and a cough syrup aftertaste. A challenging wine- what will grip your taste - ripe fruit up front or that alcohol, raw oak in the back of the mouth? For me, the alcohol and oak are overpowering as I keep tasting. If you share a bottle with a group, you may find that one glass draws higher scores.

I hope other tasters have a different reaction - ripe fruited Rhone deserves enjoyment. I have the same reaction to many Aussie wines so it may be me.
