Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - My btl and same btl as R&Rler. Opened around 3:30 poured a small glass and tried just slow oxing but it seemed just a tad stern on the palate. So then , afraid to give it too much air but something more, I double decanted before leaving for I Nonni. Pulled the cork on arrival and started drinking around 7PM. I think this may be closing down a little from my first btl in June 2015 but, its still awesome! If Piedmont had a Grand Cru designation this wine would deserve it. For lovers of Piedmont it is, Grand Cru. This wine is crazy good with kaleidoscopic flavors. Finesse, elegance and complexity are it's calling cards. So much so, that its power and tannins go unnoticed. This is old school but not brutish or unfriendly in any way. I remain completely, smitten with this wine. Overused, but this is "Burgundian" and "ethereal" personified. Everything I hoped this would be. Can I keep my hands off my other btls? I doubt it. Want to go "directly to go", try one of these! Not inexpensive but for what it is a steal. This wine has so much personality and class. My last two are safely in my storage locker out of reach from Craig :). Ill try the next one in 3-5 years. Guessing these will be ideal from 2020 +.
