Community Tasting Note

stet Likes this wine:

Monday, January 1, 2024 - Color: dark ruby to the brim
Nose: leather, dark roasted coffee, sour cherry on the ripe side, burnt pipe tobacco
Palate: medium-high acidity, high tannins not resolved. Big, chewy body, as full as it gets. Balanced however. The coffee grounds really jump at you
Finish: long

This wine is huge, and despite the 20+ years in bottlez it has a ton of youthful might. Three hours decanting brought it to a very nice place with tertiaries showing, fruit still stubbornly there, and tannins and acidity that still make it a great match for the cotechino and lentil meal that is obligatory on the first day of the year
