Community Tasting Notes 45

  April 23, 2024 - 4th of 4, and what a shame to check the box on the last of these leaving the cellar. Really nothing to add to my TN of 6 months ago, other than to say that that time has done nothing to diminish its drinking window. These Tuscan BDX blends are really a thing unto themselves, occupying a wonderful space between the mothership and my local fare, more richness than the former, more savoriness than the latter. If I could repeat this larcenous price, I’d back up a truck, although I did just buy a couple of ‘12s for about $10@ more. 95++ if scoring

  March 8, 2024 - Quite young showing, still plenty of life and some muscle left. This is what good bordeaux should be, but fails to accomplish

  March 5, 2024 - Juicy black fruits, herbs, small bitter touch, in a perfect spot now

  October 31, 2023 - Third of four, and this continues to be outstanding. Still youthful, muscular and needing at least a couple of hours to show its best, this opens to show a tantalizing mix of dark, gothic elements and Tuscan terroir, revealing itself slowly but steadily over hours and a couple of evenings. This is profound stuff, drinking beautifully, with more good years ahead than behind it, really nice on its own but just stunning with spaghetti and meatballs. At what I paid for each, this, the ‘08 Sammarco, the ‘12 Grattamaco L’Aberello, and the ‘07 LMGP make a case that no area is doing better with BDX varietals in the sub $100 range (in the case of this, sub $50, if barely) than Tuscany. Profound stuff. 95+ if scoring

  March 12, 2023 - Highly structured with both tannin and acidity. Fruit is subdued. Needed food.
  
  I liked this, but it came off as very muscular and not easily accessed.
  
  Probably should have decanted for a lot longer.
