Crafted by Josef Chromy, this is part of the Wine Selectors ‘Chef Series’ that sees chefs craft dishes to match a designated wine (with the feedback going both ways as the Chefs also have an input into the chosen wines).
A solid idea, though I’m not quite sure if the garish label matches up. Thoughts?
What is nice is the lovely, genuine, red fruit Pinot nose, cast in the ripe and direct, ‘give me Pinotosity dammit’ form. Now, if only the palate could match up with that nose – for the acidity to is high, the finish looking stunted and the general impression being a lack of generosity on the palate (particularly to finish).
Smells good, tastes thinner than it should.
