Community Tasting Note

• Matt Neel Likes this wine:

  October 27, 2014 - 1989 Produttori del Barbaresco with Chambers Street Wines (Maialino, NYC): Blood ruby, light bricking. Wow! Huge nose -- sweet (my note might say sweat, but I think it's sweet; maybe both lol), leather, mint, seashells; and cherry compote spiked with clove and nutmeg and cinnamon. Immediately tannic and very young on the palate, extremely primary, an infant. Firm, primary cherry and licorice. Good, persistent length but again primary, and tannic, so not amenable to a rhapsody on length just yet. Hold, not ready, but spectacular. And a final comment, perhaps in contrast to the foregoing: flamboyant and fun. Loved this wine.
