Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 8, 2024 - 3/8/2024 - Tart red berries and cherry, bright acidity, medium tannins, nice aromatics. Not sure it's especially deep or profound...more of a great, easy drinking, fun food wine. I'll have to revisit, but for now, a very nice, fun, food complimenting super tuscan.

5/3/2024 - 5/3/2024 - Tasting next to 2021 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove ($70). On it's own, the Le Volte is pleasant, tart cherries, fresh acidity, and a bit of leather. Holding up well against the Le Serre Nuove, but not quite as deep, smooth, or complex. when I try the Le Serre Nuove, the Le Serre is noticeably more complex, aromatic, smoother, with a bit less fruity forward, more leathery aromatic taste.

Guidalberto is a nice QPR to get that Bolgheri tart citrusy Bordeaux palette, but the Le Serre is a bit more worthy of deeper focus and concentration in appreciating it's nuance and depth...as it should considering the price difference. But Guildalberto is a good value for what it offers and is different enough from Le Serre / Ornellaia palette to have in your collection. Raising rating from 91 to 92.
