Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 20, 2023 - Great aromatics out of the chute, but watch out for very heavy sediment. Dark red fruit and leather with sweet aromatic notes of old school Baroli. The wine itself a bit firm but shows well after a short decant. Still with good supporting tannin. I was hoping it will soften to reveal more inner sweetens but it actually started to close down on the aromatics without much movement in the flavor spectrum. It went well with home made paste and wild mushrooms and the bottle disappeared fast so there was no chance at airing this further in a long decant which would have been interesting. I remain wondering if this would have been even better 5-6 hrs later. In any case it was well received and to me the best part of this bottle was the aromatics. Would be great to follow a bottle over a longer time period.
