Community Tasting Note

IPT Does not like this wine:

Thursday, December 21, 2017 - Color: Deep blood red hues and slightly lighter tinge. Little translucency.
Nose: muted red berry and a bit of spice.
Flavor: very citrus fruit dominating the forward - crab apple/cranberry, green apple, grapefruit. Very acidic overall with little else going for it. Middle is non-descriptive. Finish is rather abrupt and still tart. Linger is 20 or so seconds. Light bodied. Dry.

Bought this wine at the vendor tasting room in Philadelphia, and at the time, remember liking this wine more so than do now. Very used to Chambourcin single varietals and have to say, was disappointed with this bottle; just too acidic and tart for the palette. No real improvement upon airing. Tried another taste the second night, and no real improvement. Have a second bottle in the cellar and hoping for a better outcome with that one. Will see...
