Community Tasting Notes 6

  January 11, 2015 - The fruit is just not caving in here. There's still so much primary fruit on top here, blueberry notably, combined with earthy marks as well. A wild wine, a farmers wine. Truly unique.

  December 22, 2013 - My goodness, this hasn't moved an inch in years now. Still a crazy funky wine with animal characteristics and a nose of blueberries. A really unique wine and certainly not one I'm tempted to call pretty or refined. A wild thing, a farmers wine. Will keep.

  December 2, 2010 - Wow, this is just as young, crazy and wild as last time I opened a bottle around 3 years ago. Highly expressive nose of blueberry cake, blackberries, farmyard and a ton of other aromas that are difficult to pin down. Lively and energetic/vibrant small blue/dark/black fruit on the palate. Very rustic yet fresh wine with good acidity. Alc of 12%. Made from Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault. This is so different from anything else I have tasted in a while. A great wine. And this is only around $15 - a steal.

  March 3, 2006 - The wildest corbieres I've ever had. Mint and pink grapefruit aromas, and loads of juicy pink grapefruit palate with a long, herbal finish. It was actually great--kind of like buying a red wine, and getting a white wine, too.
