Sunday, July 5, 2015 - First of this vintage for me. Double decanted and taken to a wine event. First sniffy sniff made me wonder tca/tba, but that character changed, and not for the worse, so not corked. So I do think some Brett - earthy, but not the barnyard variety, more a light South African style. Very soil-inflected character, which was appreciated by the wino crowd. It was also frankly overly acidic on its own, but worked just fine with our diverse food as complements (especially the Mediterranean dishes). Much more rustic style of Etna Rosso than the Terre Nere I opened two nights before. Nice stuff, but might be challenging to get it showing its best.
