Community Tasting Notes 3

• wine guy wrote: 87 points

  April 4, 2008 - This wine was delicious. Maybe bottle variation with the prior notes. But for declassified gigondas (at $18/bottle) it weas a great bottle. Color was light ruby -- it looked like a pinot noir. But the nose and palette had raspberry botes and some white pepper. We had it with pork chopsd braised in fresh tomatoes and green beans and it held up well. I don't know what the shelf life would be, but I wish I had a couple more bottles to pull out with pizza or just to drink.

  April 15, 2007 - this one will definitely benefit from decanting, but we found it to have an odd, kind of fuel like taste that just put us off. I drank a glass, let it sit out for several hours, put it back in the bottle, and tried again. Lost a bit of the off-putting diesel flavor, but still none too good. Maybe this is past its prime. Cork was fine, color fine, so I don't think it is a flawed bottle.

  July 5, 2005 - Rhone & Spain Dinner: Blind 3 - Pencil lead, touch of lemon (or is that lemon juice from the lemon John just squeezed all over the calamari?), Slightly high-toned red fruit. Stemmy. Someone likened it to "Pinot on Steroids" but it really speaks more of Grenache. Okay. I retasted the leftovers the next day and found the wine a bit more interesting.
