Community Tasting Note

  September 14, 2014 - This is a beauty. But for the tell tale Sangiovese nose one might think this is a warm vintage Right Bank Bordeaux. It is deep and lush with sweet tannins, black fruit flavors and gorgeous tart acidity in the mouth and on the finish. I decanted it several hours before dinner and the aromatics commanded attention, with violets and tar and kirsch and, of course, black tea. The only surprising thing is that even with the lengthy decant, it tightened up as we neared the end of the decanter.
  
  It has been over a year since I drank this previously and it was really softened and integrated, with early stage tertiary development. I wish I had about six more of these. A beautiful wine and rewarding experience.
