Community Tasting Notes 4

  January 14, 2023 - Gouté à la va-vite, il semblerait que sur ce millésime cette cuvée Tentation ait un problème (et toutes les bouteilles du carton étaient de le même veine), avec une déviance désagréable, une trame d’oeuf pourri, une acidité déplacée, une volatile pas integrée… problème de stockage? En tout cas, c’est pas le Lapalu que j’aime.

  March 26, 2018 - Earthy and savoury crushed rocks over sour cherry. Really fleshy and juicy on the palate. Again the fruit takes a back seat to savoury minerality. Fine silky tannins, a little short but pleasant enough.

  December 9, 2017 - Medium/Pale Purple color. Light and clean aromas of red fruit, especially cranberry and red cherry, with something that strikes me as banana bread. Cranberry on the palette, with lean acids dominating the mellow tannins and body, and persisting through the Medium-short finish. Tart and accessible, it's a great QPR for everyday drinking.

  April 17, 2017 - Faded, plum color. Cranberry like a motherf**ker on the nose. Blackberries in there too. Medium-light body with great up-front acidity.Pretty well balanced. Pretty in general. Just a touch of tannin on the back-end. Very easy drinking. My only critique is the palate drops out a bit rather than sustains. I like this wine.
