Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 18, 2014 - France: 38 Wines from Kermit Lynch (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Funky, slightly oxidized notes. But very heavy and rich overall, with nice aromatic texture, though not too much complexity. Very rich texture on palate entry. Soft. Impressively soft, deep, and sexy feeling. Pretty mellow flavors, though, showing mild tartness and slight egg yolk flavor. Really though, the textural massage on the palate is enough elegance to carry this on the palate. Nice dialup of acid on the finish. Quite nice and elegant, showing a rich, deep presence. Sexy, classy stuff, but here too; it's more about the impression this wine leaves and the classy nature of the presentation than it is about the flavors, which aren't particularly distinctive. A lovely experience, though.
