Thursday, March 27, 2014 - A Casual Thursday in Toronto (Paese Restaurant, Toronto, ON): While I understand this is supposed to be a traditional producer I'm finding this a tad modern, at least in this hot vintage. A strong note of red licorice leads things off, with hints of powdered candy, florals, raisins, vanilla custard, and tar in the background. Palate repeats similar notes with a wall of tannin and a fair bit of acid on the finish. A bit monolithic today. Give a bit more time and hope for the best. While open today it is painfully primary for me and has me wondering about the producer. On the plus side someone at the table mentioned it was a lot more open that last time he had it so maybe the trajectory it's is a good one. Not something I'm seeking out at this point.
