Community Tasting Note

89 Points
Thursday, December 23, 2021 - Color: brown garnet. Medium
Nose: that burnt pie crust and cherry that talks to you about old barbaresco. This was not a good year I surmise, and you can detect the oxidization - the madeirization almost
Palate: tannins high and acid high, fruit receeding. Nice tertiaries in the dry raisin space
Finish: medium
Old nebbiolo over the edge here i would guess. Still I polished up the bottle so? Best 1h out the bottle room temp

I still really liked this, proof of that being that I was thinking of it fondly this morning as one of the best bottles of the holidays so far.

I been doing exactly the same thing, contemplating about the wines enjoyed in 2021. One of few resolutions will be to make more public postings (been bad with that this year though I made plenty of private notes). Best wishes for 2022, and hope many more great bottles!
