2022 Loudenotte Pinot Noir Vin de Pays d'Oc
5/13/2024 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 87 Points
This is quite different from most of my Pinot experiences, but also very interesting. The first taste has that kind of gamey and green leaf flavor that reminds me of Charbono. The color is very dark purple and close to opaque. The nose is roses and crushed plums. Not even medium bodied and relatively delicate considering the nose and color. The plum really intensifies across the palate, extending towards even a wild mulberry. The acid and balance characteristics are ready to enjoy now.

2020 The Other Guys Pinot Noir Leese-Fitch

This tastes a little thin and artificial. It’s not ready to be poured down the drain, as it does have some merit. Behind the cherry nose, and a small hint of Pinot funk is a touch of something mildly industrial. The color is opaque magenta. Not quite medium bodied. I believe there has been an acid addition. Ripe plum and cherry across the palate. It kinda comes together with some time in the glass. Don’t pay too much for it, and try it with some food.

NV Batiso Prosecco Puntocuore

One of those Prosecco’s that doesn’t taste the same. Yes it is crisp and citrusy, but also has some interesting body and depth. Maybe some kind of yeast or lees treatment to the base wine. Has a nice broad mouthfeel. Once you get into the mid palate shows a very elegant lemon lime acidity. And of course those delightful little bubbles. Orange tangerine finish.
