Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 23, 2022 - Marsannay can be more than Pinot Noir... And this certainly seems to have the "more".

Upon first sniff, it's very young, and it's almost Gamay-like. It's been a long while since I've had this wine. It's Burgundy and Pinot Noir, but not Burgundian, if that makes sense.
It's forward. Green. Unpolished. Needs to open up, but I'm uncertain it will be long lived enough to experience that.

Pale ruby intensity with very bright red cherries and raspberries, green apples and grass.
It's dry. Without the elegant Burgundian mouthfeel. I've 5 more bottles. I'll be interested to see how and if this develops more... At this moment, I think not.

Pinot Noir

This is a strange wine in my opinion, but..... It's another tasting experience or milepost, along life's highway.
Addendum -
I've talked to several fellow wino's who love this wine and think I'm completely bonkers! I guess it's that bias from decades prior. Alas, I'll leave everyone to Marsannay. I'll continue elsewhere. Cheers

PS- Drink the Rainbow!!
