Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 86.4 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Cirix on 4/20/2024 & rated 88 points: Bottiglia aperta 2 ore prima, no decanter - temp.16 ° cent.

Di colore rosso rubino, unghia aranciata, impenetrabile, denso.
Al naso schietto, fine, complesso, prevalgono aromi terziari, viola passita, nocciola tostata, terra, fico maturo, mandorla, tabacco, confettura mora di rovo, tabacco, chiodi di garofano, ginepro, macchia mediterranea.
Di medio corpo, presente lieve acidità, sapido, tannini risolti, finale persistente.

La beva é ancora piacevole ma il vino é già oltre la fase massima di maturazione.

Ho apprezzato meglio il vino il 2° e 3° giorno.

Il carignano proveniente da vecchie viti é molto lento a esprimersi.

Abbinamento, anatra in tegame in bianco. (42 views)
 Tasted by Marc Y on 5/13/2020: Nose: Christmas cake, smoke, dried dates, Amaro characteristics, sweet black fruits, band aid, funky

Palate: baking spice, long finish, (565 views)
 Tasted by EMark on 5/2/2017: Very dull almost prune color in the glass. Slight chemical note on the nose. Very little fruit on introduction—maybe the slightest suggestion of raisin but without any sugar. Lots of earthiness. Some mushroomy fungal things. No tannin to speak of and, similarly, very little acidity. An OK wine, but lack of acid makes it a bit boring. (2053 views)
 Tasted by jnocera on 7/17/2016 & rated 87 points: Fruity easy drinking lunch wine. Nothing special but easy to drink for lunch. (2337 views)
 Tasted by PT insurgent on 6/24/2016: Fruity, basic, herbal notes. Fine enough. (2359 views)
 Tasted by Cholera on 6/11/2016 & rated 85 points: Too bitter despite decanting and pairing with arrabbiata pasta and sausage. Inky dark red color, acerbic and tart, with medium legs and medium finish. Not good for my palate (2354 views)
 Tasted by pmik on 12/11/2015 & rated 79 points: Smagt på Famo. Fin afbalanceret og meget drikkeværdig (2371 views)
 Tasted by Vince_chip on 10/15/2015 & rated 86 points: Suggéré par le "caviste". Corps moyen assez structuré. Assez bon, saveurs simples.

 Tasted by jrlopez808 on 7/16/2015 & rated 84 points: It tastes like soy sauce. (863 views)
 Tasted by s******n on 6/25/2015 & rated 90 points: Sella & Mosca 2009 vs Rocca Rubia 2012:
- Farblich praktisch kein Unterschied
- Der Sella & Mosca ist sehr rund und balanciert, allerdings damit auch nicht so interessan wie der Rocca Rubia
- Rocca Rubia ist für mich der recht klare Sieger (858 views)
