2023 Oceano Zero Pinot Noir

Description

Earthy, tannic nose with some getting a grassy scent. We tried it straight out of the bottle, decanted for several hours, and then with All the Bitter Aromatic bitters. The panel was divided, some found it smooth and flavorful with tannin on the tongue and a round mouthfeel, others found it somewhat flat. All thought it tasted like wine. With bitters, it became a panel favorite. A strong red wine in a challenging category.
