Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 15, 2009 - Disappointing.

Brought this to a very nice Italian restaurant and had it with a Carpaccio to start with and a Grilled New Zealand rack of lamb, minted red wine reduction and goat cheese mashed potatoes. This wine just never lived up to the challenge. Loads of earth and mushrooms dominate this wine along with sour cherry. A bit lacking in complexity. The mushroom and barnyard tones just killed it for me and the finish was way off for my palate. I can see how some would and do enjoy this style, but it should have stayed on the shelf where I purchased it.
