Noir

Wow, the experience this time is positively different. A beautiful and charming bouquet of dog rose, sour cherry, white pepper, raw meat and balsamic. Juicy and a bit funky. Good balance, where acidity and tannin work together to please my buds (taste buds, yo). The aftertaste is long. Complex and interesting.

Tasted blind. Didn't guess. Turned out to be a Pinot Noir made by Greek in Collio. A fistful of sour berries (dogwood and red currant), leather, white pepper and balsamic. It's intriguing, but I find it hard to drink this wine. VA is not well integrated, and instead of increasing complexity, it just bothers me. On the other hand, it has good fruit.
