Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 6, 2021 - This was not at all what I was expecting from a northerly region like Alsace. Less than a generation ago most Alsatian PN was light in colour and body and went down rather like quite serious rosé. Colour here was quite deep. The nose showed round primary fruit a bit like ripe plum and this followed through onto the rather plump palate but there was a recognisably PN aura. Acidity was quite low; there was little minerality, a touch of kirsch towards the finish together with a slightly burning firmness which owed a lot to 14.5% alcohol. Furthermore there were remarks from across the table about a prickly texture. This did not bother me but could probably have been avoided by decanting as suggested by the back label. I'm not sure whether the producer wants a "serious" wine for some ageing or a "fun" wine for quaffing, but IMO it is certainly not the latter. Just fair.
