Community Tasting Notes 86

  August 8, 2020 - This should be dead but it’s still fighting on. Very brick red in the glass, slightly sweet aromas that definitely indicate the age, but clearly still a Pinot. Fermented raspberries, cola and a little bacon on the nose. Paired with rich food this still stands up really well, but drunk alone you get those slight Port-like flavours that indicate a wine heading over the hill. Definitely not unenjoyable.

  May 16, 2016 - Absolutely delightful. I had this wine at the end of it's window. The only regret that I have is that I may have waited a little too long to enjoy this bottle to it's full potential. Although after letting the wine breathe in a decanter for a while allowed the delicious flavors of the wine to emerge.
