Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 12, 2011 - Tasting at Chateau Gallo (Chateau Gallo): The second blind of the afternoon, pulled by Joe Gallo. Murky garnet in colour, with some bricking at the rim. This one had a nose of dark fruits, plums, truffle, spice, undergrowth, chocolate, cigar box and a green streak, characterized by green tobacco and celery. This prompted a lengthy discussion on pyrazine. On the palate, dark red fruits, spice, earth and leather, with fully integrated tannin, and a decent amount of acidity. I had some sediment in my glass, so I gathered that this had some age on it, although I was headed to Italy with my guess, due to the higher than normal acidity for Bordeaux.
