Community Tasting Note

• SWHighlander Does not like this wine: 82 points

  April 2, 2021 - Decanted for 3 hours. A light red violet in color. Many of the same flavors as Cru Beaujolais on the front of the palate, finishing on the end of the palate with some darker fruit and spice (like the classic Syrah-Gamay mix the Mondeuse varietal is famous for). It has some complexity and it's definitely interesting, unusual for someone who has not had Mondeuse Noire before. On the downsides, it's quite thin in viscosity and the standout characteristics are tartness and tannin. Out of balance. It's standout flavors are barnyard and banana, like carbonic maceration that's a bit overdone. So not really enjoyable to drink.
  
  Tried it the next day, now a touch oxidized without any change in the tannin/acid/fruit balance.
