Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 10, 2013 - Brian's 40th (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): This was quite charming – much better indeed than a tired old bottle of 1961 Fontanafredda Barolo that was served alongside. There was a very engaging nose on this wine, with classic Piedmontese accents of ash and roses, smoked meat and tea leaves, alongside dark cherries and blackberries. Pretty nice. The palate was really fresh and lively, with an elegant shape to it. Here, fine tannins and fresh acidity shaded yummy flavours of dark cherries and blackberries patted down with a little toss of earth and some smoky, spicy accents leading into a more savoury, meaty finish. Very satisfying. Neither the deepest nor the most complex of wines, especially at its age, but this was very enjoyable indeed. In a good place for drinking I would say.
