Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 26, 2013 - Horrible cork - a bit depressed, dry, crumbly and difficult to extract. The nose makes up for it though - pure, forthcoming tertiary laden Pinot scents. Dry, stylish, earthy, with sassafras/cola notes adding to the ripe, warm cherries. Fungal and sous bois profile, along with the classic brown sugar wash of well matured ripe pinot noir. Still retaining remnants of acidic structure (fading though) and very resolved but still present mouth drying and appetite inducing talc-like tannins. A brilliant wine, certainly past its prime (unless you're English :-), but still superb. A legacy. Roberto, we miss you! 92pts pure quality, 96pts personal pleasure and preference.
