Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 8, 2023 - Not Brian’s usual color for his pinots. This is more maroon. Plenty of black cherries teaberry, and cinnamon on the nose and attack, but it just doesn’t hold up to the 2009 Ampelos Rho. This is a much thinner wine that the Ampelos Rho (which is beautiful, not jammy and not syrupy). The fruit is fine, but a bit thin. As noted previously, the first and last sip are very similar; this is not a wine the evolves in the glass. Compared to my other notes, I suspect the fruit is fading a touch. Drink now. 14.3% alc. With grilled ahi tuna. 06.08.23. Recommended with Reservations.
