Community Tasting Notes 14

  May 13, 2010 - A little stinky, like Grandma's basement. And the brett-y smell didn't burn off. But it also had some black and red cherries, something like nuts, dirt, leather, wet animal, and pepper. Very interesting nose. Lightweight, with acidity on the backend that was a little flabby. If you like those light, tart, earthy food wines, you might like this. Overall, an okay wine, but the nose was worth the price of admission.

  May 2, 2010 - Great nose - fruity sheep barn. Pretty acidic. Palate was not as exciting as the nose, but still fun to drink.

  April 9, 2010 - Nice darker profile gamay, less strawberry and more rich fruit flavor. Maybe lacking a bit in the acidity department, comes across as somewhat ever so slightly flabby. I'm probably nit-picking really. Nice wine, especially for the money, just a darker toned version than what I've come to expect from gamay.
