Community Tasting Note

  • Burgundy Al wrote: 95 points

    October 16, 2021 - Tony's 60th Birthday Celebration (Republique - Los Angeles CA): Also opened several hours in advance, but unlike the Giacosa 1978 Barbaresco Santo Stefano, this seemed like it needed more time and/ or more air. Firm start that was not particularly friendly, we managed to gradually coax pleasure from the glass. Red cherry, cloves, anise, dried herbs and floral hints emerged by the 30-minute mark, but this remained backward, while also powerful, regal and hinting at its vast potential. I know my note doesn't sound like the wine thrilled me, but we all enjoyed it, but all knew there is more to come.
