Community Tasting Note

stet Likes this wine:

Friday, September 8, 2023 - Color: medium ruby with some brown
Nose: fleshy dark fruit, dark cherry and blackberry. Bay leaf, silicone, old book, something like faint caramel, candied violet
Palate: intense, medium-high acidity, medium tannins mostly felt on the tongue, good balance on a body I'd call medium-full. Confirms the nose aromatically
Finish: medium

Dark but not quite brooding, kept food friendly by a great acid backbone, nice tannins, this is a big Pinot. I had it with salmon but that was not the right idea, this would have been better with chicken persillade or similarly flavored white meat. Had it from bottle at room temp, best about an hour and a half after opening. Not a hint of Brett, to which I am very sensitive. Lucky bottle it seems
