Introduction
Wonderful Shiraz
Flight 1 (1 note)
Red
2004 Hartford / Hartford Court Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
88 points
My number is low mainly because of the alcoholic finish. After being open in a bottle for about 4 hours, it subsided some, but I still felt the alcoholic finish really took from the wine.
86 after day 2. Otherwise, an interesting complexity of flowery red fruit, pencil, and I guess that's cloves. Without the alcoholic finish, I think it would have been 90. Have just less than half of a bottle left, let's see tonight or tomorrow.
On a side note, I looked on both labels and failed to find an alcohol %. Please post one if anyone finds one.
Refridgerated and vacu-vinned, and tasted again 5 days later. No bad alcoholic finish now. Rating up to 88.
