Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 5, 2014 - Yes, this has surely become a bit volatile. Somewhat raspy, but there's still an underlying eucalyptus herbaceous quality? It's really a bit farty though. Huge fan of this producer, not really a fan of this wine (or at least, this specific bottle).

  October 13, 2013 - Clear, ruby, medium intensity, medium consistency. The nose has some intense brett, with moderately complex aromas of spice, animal, musk, liquorice, pepper, red fruits, cranberries, pine roses, smoke and cola. The nose is developed. The palate is dry, with medium (-) alcohol, moderately smooth, medium (-) tannins, medium (-) minerality and medium acidity. The wine is medium bodied, moderately balanced, with medium intensity and medium length. Drink now, not likely to improve with further ageing.

  September 11, 2013 - I agree with the other notes in this wine but will add that there is also significant volatile acidity. Not very good.

  May 17, 2013 - Quirky. Bitter cherry and barnyard on the nose but on the palate the fruit steps forward, there's a zestyness, and the barnyard disappears. Nice for a refreshing change of pace, but I won't be seeking it out.

  April 14, 2013 - The brett/rubbery funk is fairly intense here, especially at first, and though it recedes it was impossible to shake from my taste buds, even on 2nd day. That said there is plenty of fruit, and it is a wine of surprising concentration and succulent density. More like a Pinot than a Gamay.
