Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 14, 2019 - Dinner organized by Mark T with Paolo/Matt/Jack - generous contributions from our cellars (Wolfgang's NYC on 41st): Last wine of the evening, generous contribution from Paolo. Have had Voerzio's wines but first experience with this one. Decanted, open maybe 2 hours before drinking - could probably have used more time but great nonetheless. Drank with our "Cheese course" at the end of the evening*

Dark ruby color, vibrant core, no separation. Perfumed and elegant nose of red fruits. Fruit forward palate showing black raspberry, sweet earth notes. A slight sweetness on the mid palate, really pleasant. Medium weight, long and nuanced finish.

This wine was truly spectacular on this evening. Early in its evolution, its drinking well at this point with a long arc ahead of it. Will have to look for some to add to my cellar. Tied for WOTN with the 97 Monte Bello

*Asking for a cheese course at a steak house can be confusing to them. After some back and forth, we wound up with 2 slices of cheescake to pair with this wine....:) wine was so good it didn't matter
