Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 7, 2021 - Purchased on release, and according to my records, the first bottle I've tried from this vintage. In all honesty, this was a bit of a disappointment, particularly at this price point. I own a lot of Rhys (almost 400 bottles in inventory...thanks CT), dating back to 2004, and on the plus side, they really seemed to hit their stride beginning around 2012. But the early years are a bit hit-and-miss in terms of ageability. This showed rich boysenberry, black cherry and brown sugar flavors, but was a bit fat and unbalanced, and the high stem inclusion is still not quite integrated. Fell apart by day 2, which leaves me a bit pessimistic about its future. My wife, who usually likes this style of pinot, was also not impressed.
