Community Tasting Note

  March 24, 2014 - Classic expression of Brunello with tart cherry, leather, and sandalwood on the nose. On the palate, the tart cherry and leather remain but the sandalwood gives way to luscious dark chocolate and espresso, and those notes remain through a medium-ish, silky smooth finish.
  
  This 2006 was a bit more mature than I expected, especially given that the 2004's from Caprili are still showing fairly young. This has the structure to continue to improve for several years, but especially with some protein to balance the tannins, it's drinking beautifully right now. I decanted for two hours, served with some beautiful lamb chops I picked up at the Portland Farmer's Market, and life was good.
