Title: Sideways
Post by: CaliGirl20 on October 18, 2004, 09:29:54 pm
Anyone else looking forward to this film?  I LOVE Paul Giamatti.  I think he's such an awesome actor.  He was so good in "American Splendor"!

I was recommended to watch this by a winemaker :wink: The characters and
story were authentic enough to impress him! Its 'screening' here now  8)

Title: Muddy Water "Hare's Bredth" Pinot Noir 2006

Hi peeps

I thought the 'Sideways' thread was the most appropriate place to add TNs
(Tasing Notes) on a 'New World' Pinot Noir so here goes... Hare's Bredth '06

Relatively deep ruby-red with evident clarity and a youthful edge. The nose
starts off with masses of concentrated cherry and damsom plum fruit with a
twist of spice and that irrepressable forest floor/sous bois note. An evolving
wine that starts to show off beetroot, rhubarb, violets and a myriad of all of
the best attributes of Red Burgundy ;to think this wine only retails @AU$55!

The Zerrutti Supertaster wasn't of size sufficient for the wine, so I put it into
a Lipton Ice balloon and it started to show so much more complexity! Clearly
a brooding pinot with much more enjoyability ahead of it. Best cellared for a
year or 5, to develop into something really interesting. The limitation will be
the degree of filtration... its going to lack complexity with this much fining :oops:

95.5 / 100 just the same... this from a winery with a 'Mojo' label below it! (http://forum.nessaholics.com/images/smiles/bluetongue.gif)


Peace
