2016 Luigi Bosca Gala 2

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

86 Points

Saturday, April 10, 2021 - Sorry to say this was a let down.
Color indephirable on account of dark restaurant.
Nose was initially a nice Bordeaux blend of fruit and forest floor and vanilla but there was an intermittent waft of alcohol.
Palate confirmed strong alcohol taste - quite off-balanced and great disappointment. Weak tanins to balance... Medium finish. It’s a shame because it could have been good...
My guess is the 14% alcohol with weak tanins did them in.
I would try another vintage in the hopes that the potential of these 100 year old vines might be realized.
