Community Tasting Note

SARED Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 2, 2019 - La Festa Barolo (NYC): Nose: Pure, clear cherry mixed with wood spice and earth (although this earth is perhaps slightly more rancid than my favorite earthy notes from other wines). Very interesting and I wonder how more air would have evolved that earthy note.
Palate: So much hits you at once, in balance, that I can't keep up my tasting note. Excellent mouth feel. Cherry, vanilla, smoke and tar. Creamy and spicy without being woody. Structured, puckering tannin, with a finishing lift of acidity that keeps the experience alive longer than expected. This is pretty freaking good. f I liked the nose better, this would be 97... but that palate made time stop for a second while my brain caught up with what my mouth was drinking. 95-97. Would love to try again.
