Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 19, 2019 - The magenta tinged rim quickly turns to ox-blood red through the core. The wine gives off an almost lacquer like sheen. The nose is big with cedar dominating at first, but as the wine opens and it finds itself there are elements of cherry liqueur, cassis, anise and thankfully, no dill. The first taste when just opened is a window to enjoyment: rich nose of cassis and tobo. Forty-five minutes later, cassis, plum, tobo leaf and cedar smoke are wrapped in smooth tannins. While powerful, the balance of the wine reflects the deft hand behind it. This is classic Togni. Sediment coats the “down” side of the neck of the bottle and a small thumbnail of thick, fine grained sediment oozes out with the final pour. Per usual Togni, no percent of alc. listed (meaning its under 14%). With seared (beef) ribeyes. Recommended but leaning toward Highly Recommended.
