Saturday, October 21, 2023 - Annual Pilgrimage to Piedmont - 2023 Edition; 10/20/2023-10/22/2023 (Piedmont, Italy): Our friends met Chiara Boschis earlier in the day and she told them “ Ask Edgar a Tornavento to go for an old Mosconi” . Unfortunately the oldest they gasped was this 2012 and was a bit too young at this stage and definitely needs its time. Especially framed by the magnificent Sandrone Le Vigne 1996 ( Papies 96) was playing off the wrong side of the pitch.
Ripe and young, punchy fruit at this stage and firm tannin. Full on black cherry, big tannin still and need time to shed the puppy fat and roll into the great drinking years. Granted we prefer our wine more evolved hence this baby was a bit not here yet for us but one cannot argue with quality there especially in a poor vintage like 2012. 91-92 for now and with hope for the future
