Community Tasting Note

• mac-eye Likes this wine: 91 points

  January 10, 2022 - Update: 2 days after opening, the youthful roughness has dissipated, but it remains too heavy to be really enjoyable. Dropping from 92 to 91.
  
  Still very young in early 2022: quite tannic, deep dark black-purple with no visible signs of age.Flavors and aromas of young fruit still figuring out how to assimilate with whole and soften up. A high quality, intense, heavy pinot. Perhaps it's a good thing that the Kupe comes off as very pure. But it would be more fun if it had a little bit of earthy, funky notes. I suspect those may develop over the next several years. Drink from 2021 to 2028 or 2030.
