Maysara, Jamsheed, Pinot Noir, 2005
Ahh, Pinot from home. And despite the fact that I drink way too much Pinot (I'd drink more if I won't go bankrupt in the process), lucky for me I hadn't ever tried Maysara before.
(If you missed the wines before, this is wine number four from our "Pinots of the World" flight night).
The nose was nutmeg? Cinnamon? Not sure, but something spicy for sure. There was also leather, vanilla, violet, and carmel. Our Wine MC smelled procuittio! And Denise found coconut. Interesting. The taste was rose, raspberry, pepper and compost. The finish was back to raspbery and pepper (and a bit of citrus).
Denise described this as like an Italian grandma who smells of rose perfume, cooks in the kitchen -- and whose bosom you want to nuzzle (that's what she said). Mike thought it smelled like rose shampoo from Marriott hotels (regardless of this description, he really liked this wine).
