Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 24, 2021 - Pinot under $100 (East Bistro): Crumbly cork as others have noted before. I think this was very divisive, our table all thought it was old-world but the other table was adamant that it was very clearly new-world. Looking at previous notes, I think our table's impression was closer to what was mentioned before.

Very classic Burgundian earthiness and sous-bois, tertiary mushroom notes and some VA on the nose even though this wasn't quite as well done as the best producers from Burgundy. Savoury notes on the palate that led me to Gevrey. Lovely acid to the wine still despite the ripe fruit. Apparently the winemaker who is also a professor took some yeasts from DRC to make this.
