Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 7, 2014 - Recording this note late, but I agree w/ Drankard in that this was confectionary and not my favorite nebbiolo. Quite floral on the nose, which I usually look for and like, but it was like a "fake", perfumed floral. Red fruits, good acidity, medium body and length, but pretty simple stuff. Honestly wasn't sure what decanting would do here, so I tried it, and it really only minimally improved. I poured the rest into a half bottle and left it out uncorked for the night and tried it again the next evening. It was actually better, as the candied element had softened, and it overall seemed more smooth and balanced. I left about a glass left in the bottle and left out another night, just to see, and it was kinda dead the next day, in that it tasted bordering on spoiled with lower fruit and firm tannins. It would seem that we did find, and pass, this wine's sweet spot at this point in time (for us).
