Saturday, July 31, 2021 - Fantastic! Another wine that made me check the ratings mid-bottle - and……. 100ptsAG!!!
Had a feeling.
My only very small complaints about this wine are:
That being said, I wish I had tried the d’Alceo before! I’ve had a lot of the Sammarco and love it. I don’t know what my problem is…
Actually, I do know. I’m never sure if it’s time for “that bottle” - but I’ll tell you, this baby is seamless and amazing. Will it get better? How do I know? I’m sure it will hold for a long time, but no reason to wait just for the sake of waiting. Get drinking!
Ample black fruit and smooth, dusty tannins. Some kind of exotic wood on the finish? A beautiful sip, from attack to a wonderfully full mid-palate- resolving into a finish that go on and on and on. And on. And…. You get the idea.
Some color commentary - my wife is trying to talk to me while I’m finishing the last glass (she has some too). I don’t want to talk - I just want to let this wine seep into me as slowly and spiritually as possible. But I have to nod at olympics anecdotes. At appropriate times. Sigh.
