Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 23, 2011 - Deteriorated cork. Some signs of bricking. Slightly truffled nose, with notes also of forest floor and decaying logs. Slightly resiny and also notes of stewed red fruit. There's almost a hint of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the nose here. On the palate, there's a lot of sweetness, and lots of juicy red fruit. Some notes of varnish on the palate, and again stewed fruit. Softened tannins. Strange that the palate is so fresh, but the nose is so aged. You can clearly see the sangiovese influence here. Great acidity and a pleasant finish, though there are slight iron notes there.
