Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 12, 2013 - purple-violet; somewhat reductive & bretty at first (just above cellar temp), became earthier & briery w/air; med/+ body; crunchy bramble fruits w/noticeable farm environs present; slightly astringent wood tannins around the gums, red & black currant acidity. my sense is this is in a closed phase & will give a rest for a year before the next one.

sherry-glazed white turnips w/roasted pimiento & slivered duck "ham"; summersweet corn on the cob w/tarragon butter; braised romano beans w/pancetta

8/19/2014 decanted 30 min. extra earthy, w/plum & currant sidenotes; med+ weight; deep, dark plummy fruit, no spritz, showing the darker side of gamay, w/notable oak; more resolved than a year ago, but still inclined to wait this one out. (89)

torn roast chicken w/fresh figs, sungold tomatoes, arugula & roma beans, shaved pecorino

4/02/2015 this was a fizzy one again. a vigorous shake only partially moderated the co2; like what's underneath, but find it distracting. (NR)
