Community Tasting Notes (average 83 pts. and median of 83 pts. in 1 note) | |
| Tasted by whits on 7/19/2009 & rated 83 points: just a touch too heavy on the oaky side on both the nose and palate which covers and even distorts some of the character for me, by a touch meaning I can still get the essence, the fruitful cherries, grape flavors, with tart, but strong acid to make for a good food-pairing which would ideally be with a tomato sauce, this is dry, I feel that sometimes the identifiable oak in Italian wine turns me off (103 views) |
