Community Tasting Note

andrewfowler Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 27, 2024 - Raspberry-forward on the nose, maybe some chocolate and purple flowers, definitely some graphite. Despite the exotic provenance (Mondeuse, quoi?), it’s a pretty straightforward sipping wine with some light savory notes on the palate playing well with the graphite dimensions, good balance of acidity and tannin (although neither are particularly assertive), and a relatively short finish. I looked it up, apparently Mondeuses are known for their intensity? I’m not really getting that here. But it’s nice. The complexity increases with time in glass, and I’m getting quite a bit of black pepper on the finish and nose now, and the tannins are really coming into their own. Decant absolutely required.
