Community Tasting Note

• Matt Neel Likes this wine:

  March 14, 2015 - Dinner with good friends at I Trulli (I Trulli, Flatiron, NYC): Opaque blood, barely bricked. How is this so young -- I've had it since release, 25+ years! Austere but spicy nose, cardamom seed, barely ripe cherry. Palate is >100% 1988; austere, very tannic. Will it ever come totally around? Tight; needs at least 10 years from this bottle, anyway. Good but very tannic length. Cripes! (I gave this a good 2 hours of air in the open bottle. I was just stunned by how backwards it still is. I can't imagine how hard a grand cru from this stable would be...)
