Beaulieu Vineyards 2003 Carneros Napa Valley Reserve Pinot Noir
(about 1 year ago) buddy icon randyhall 87.0/100
Not a huge amount going on here. Noticed a buttery smell with raspberry jam, almost like buttered toast with jam, only without the toast. Later coming back to the nose, I got a whiff of raisins, like you stuck your nose in a n empty box of raisins. On the palate, I was struck briefly by a sour bile flavor, which mercifully went away fast. Then strawberry jam, cherry flavors were there. Unfortunately, the heat from the alcohol was way to evident, knocking this way off balance.
