Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 5, 2020 - Reading the other scores on CT, guess I'm not seeing what everyone else seems to be seeing in this. But I should add that it's a hotel room/mini bar wine utterly devoid of any decanting or much embrace, accompanied by a rather sad room service Rigatoni Bolognese.

Chalky, lead nose, def som barnyard/light brett there. Smells like a wine in barrel that is in that slightly "farty" stage. Purple darkness on color. Sour cranberries, sour fruits on the palate, pyrazines and stem notes, pretty low tannins and the barnyard vibe continues. Slightly short. But I like the acidity and there's a smoky note I enjoy, but that's about it. To me, this feels like one of those countless local cooperative village wines littering Italy and France.

EDIT - it did improve slightly after about 3hrs in glass and integrated better. I amended score to reflect this.
