Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 17, 2022 - Further to my note of 11/24/2021 an update.

This has settled down, not unsurprisingly since my tasting was soon after shipment from Italy.
Nose: the wood is more integrated and the ripe CF notes fresh. Less maquillé than before, violets, plums, complex.
Taste: light/med body, still q hot on entry and tannic, nevertheless bursts w fruit, plums, cherries, long finish, hot (14.5% ABV), fresh fruit and moderatly soft tannins.
Overall, a vast improvement. Admittedly this is a rare bird, but what would one get from the Loire od the Right Bank for the same price? An interesting question.
