Community Tasting Note

• TannicBeast Likes this wine: 92 points

  December 15, 2012 - Tried this producer for the first time and was impressed. Had it decanted. The nose is clean and medium plus to pronounced in intensity, with beautiful aromas of black fruit, red fruit, dried fruit and spice. It really smells like a good Christmas cake. The palate is dry but rich and generous. The alcohol is a whopping 15.5% but not noticeable thanks to the great balance achieved with this wine. The tannins are medium. Its body weight, flavor intensity and length are all medium plus. It paired beautifully with an osso buco alla Milanese and then with a little gorgonzola dolce sprinkled with balsamic. It is rinking well now, but likely to improve with another couple of years of ageing, although I would not wait until after 2015 to drink it. A great value which I will seek out.
