Friday, January 21, 2022 - Summary:
Piccolomini BDM was the best, Giodo/Macchiole/Sodi also delicious… Sodi continues to outperform it’s price. Flaccianello and Percarlo very tight and questionable even after a few days.
Cepparello: somewhere in the middle
Giodo BDM: well done, towards the top of the tasting
Piccolomini Santa Caterina BDM: best wine of the tasting, open for business, great fruit and finish.
Sodi: as always, a price performer and holds up to the more expensive wines. Some brett/earth with the very dark fruit profile, one of the better wines in the tasting
Percarlo: unyielding, tight, even after a few nights never opened up. Will it ever?
Macchiole Paleo: dark chocolate, delicious
Flaccianello: unyielding and tight, but unlike the Percarlo did open up somewhat night 2 & 3. Needs many years.
