Well, this time I really don't want to waste
too many words. This Pinot from Coteaux du Libron was an experimental purchase.
Unfortunately not a
very successful one ...
Somehow it was like all the other Languedoc
Pinots I had so far. Pretty dull, weak, crude and disappointing. The nose
showed very green’ish and stinky barn fragrances. Some bananas and some rose-hip,
too. Surely not a lot of expression and life. I really could not spot real
Pinot resemblances. The taste seemed rather acidic, somehow constructed and slightly
sweet. Not a lot of excitement and depth. OK, to be fair: It wasn’t an
expensive wine! Just 7 Euros. But still …! After a couple of hours I spotted
some mediocre flavours of rose-hip and bright coloured sweet cherries. The concentration
was okay, not really thin, but still a pretty bovine and a bit sleepy Pinot Noir. Sorry, not my
cup of wine!
