Community Tasting Notes 8

    May 1, 2016 - Hmmm. This is changed quite a bit since I last had it. Distinctly Pinot with some ashtray, bright red fruit and stable notes. The profile was grounded and bright with some juicy and earthy fruit darkening temporally. However there was an off putting vegetal note on both the nose and on the palate. Maybe it is passing it's prime?

    March 4, 2013 - lots of funk in the nose that continued on and made for an overall unpleasant experience; unanimously agreed upon.

    July 30, 2012 - The nose started as dusty attic, cherries and orange peel. Later it took on cola and ashtray with spiced tea notes. At first it didn't seem well integrated and had a rather harsh finish and muted fruit but this too changed with time and after an hour of air it came together as a wine - distinctly Pinot - with a profile that starts bright and brisk and darkened toward a nice finish.

    June 16, 2012 - Red cherry color. Pretty nose of black cherry and earth. In the mouth, juicy fruit but a bit simplistic. Solid spice character and good simplicity. B+

    August 1, 2011 - Cherry, cherry cola, raspberry, a bit of heat on the finish. I find this very appealing, if not very complex.
