Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 6, 2011 - Northern Italian Dinner and Wine (Shannon's): This was drinking so perfectly with just enough primary fruit coupled with beautifully apparent secondary notes. We "Audozed" it for 2 hours and it was ready to go. Aromas of primarily red fruit with a touch of black fruit and notes of milk chocolate, cigar box, leather, blue flowers, anise and earth. There was a small touch of brett, but it only added to the complexit of the wine rather than intrude on it. Elegant with a satin soft texture with great concentration and beautiful juicy acidity. Layered with great complexity in the palate, this was so amazingly balanced and so difficult to keep ones hands off of it. Wonderful length. I'm usually not much of a Brunello drinker, but this was quite special and I'd probably be drinking more if I had more like this.
