Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 4, 2023 - Dark fruit on the nose, cocoa, violet, licorice. Harder, more masculine, and more brooding on the palate than the Rocche - but also more open. On the palate, some blue fruit emerges with an intriguing tinge of Cocoa powder on the finish - with the flavor profile and drying nature of the tannin, it really does create the sensation of cocoa powder. While this will clearly improve with time, I think opening a bottle now can provide enjoyment and an integrated sense of where this wine is heading. I wouldn’t say that is the case with the Rocche. Also, I am starting to wonder whether I prefer the Oddero Villero to the Rocche - that is counter to what I would expect so a potentially interesting theme for me to understand and explore when I am there next week!
