My WOTN. Thanks for the suitcase wine, MH.
Another blind. Very pinotesque, so most guessed the variety right. Interestingly, the winemakers on the table both thought it might have been a Nebbiolo - a fairly informed guess I reckon, especially with the tasting notes below and more effusive styles that have been popping up. Once more, appellation guesses took us around Italy yet no one got Soave.
What a Pinot Noir! Complex and unusual. To me, it looked quite new world-like (fruit sweetness, hints of marmalade), yet there was just this exotic (non-fruit) flair that kept it firmly in continental Europe. Ripe strawberries, cherries, heaps of dried herbs, pine, red tea, and hints of tar and petrichor. Rich and silky on the palate, with just enough acidity to keep it juicy. The finish was long and earthy, with an almost ash-like quality to it. Balanced and drinking well at the moment. One to revisit with a little more age for sure. — 10 months ago
Deep Ruby color with berry fruit, fragrant spice and earthy cedar notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, and cacao with notes of floral spice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar wrapped in an earthy herb mineral spice character. Starting to drink well now, will age. — a month ago
