Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 18, 2015 - Blinds at Le Clos (Le Clos SF): Red wine.
Dull moderate minus ruby in the glass to a dull rim.

Nose: Lightly oxidized. A bit of earthy, hint of mushroom, hint of brett. Primarily savory indistinct fruit.
Palate: Medium body, high alcohol, high acid, high tannins.

The oxidization really made it click, because I’ve had a few oxidative barolos. But the Structure really made it fit well. By the time I got the high tannins on the finish my mind was made up.

Conclusions:
This is from Italy, it is Nebbiolo, given the age and power probably Barolo, with a bit of age on it (not sure how much given the oxidation - I should have looked at the color for clues).

2007 Bosco Agostino Barolo, Neirane
14.5% Alcohol
$37

My Impressions:
Classic structure. I’m not getting much from the nose besides oxidation, earth, and brett.
Score: Around 8
