Community Tasting Note

Stanrocks Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 4, 2023 - Seeing all the notes around I m biased ! it clearly is a 90/92 but for length it is a little 90, but pleasure and drinkability it is a 92

I was about to rate 90...ish but thought it was better first ... juts a langhe you know ... but what a Langhe is more the right expression !

2018, again AG and JS shitted over it ! screw them ! This is awesome when well made !

WSET mode...

M Ruby

MIOA, red cherry, laurel, mint, eucalypt, balsamic, dried tomates, wet leaves, seasoned oak, intricate and complex, evolving through aeration.

Palate is dry, with M+ acidity, High Alcohol (feeling like M+), M+ tannins soft and savory, M+ Body, and M+ IOA more intense on the palate the wine shows all the above characters with little more spice and grip, with a med subtle savory finish.

The wine is very good, balanced between fruit flavors, tertiary notes coming in and M+ acidity and soft savory med+ tannins. The wine lacks mainly length and a bit more complexity to be outstanding but still shows refined tannins and a savory and subtle slaty finish.

It already shows enjoyable tertiary notes, signs of aging, like balsamic and dried tomatoes. Fruit starts to fall a bit and it will not benefit from aging more considering how well it drinks now.

My Notes

The wine rocks, from top to bottom, it is flashy and sexy but in a restrained and out of fashion way, it s a 50's lady, with class and elegance. All is in its place, no show off ! Only balanced and refined aromas and style.

It is in a perfect spot, and I cannot imagine drinking anything else right now as it is perfectly showing. Savory salty finish ... lingering with no force nor power, 14 alcohol ! you'd never thought that high... again balance is everything in wine, and here it is all balanced !
