Community Tasting Note

Bandreas Does not like this wine:

Tuesday, February 13, 2024 - Gift from Marco Brunello; opened for the tasting with Cahill's in the restaurant Opal DC...
Dark garnet nose, dense in the center.
On the nose some black fruit and a touch of camphor and sweet carob.
On the palate it is short and raspy with all the tannins.
I hope it opens up and develops for the tasting in 1 1/2 hours....Will report on it later.
Unfortunately id did not really open up and blossom but remained woody and dull. For my taste too much modern/New World winemaking at play and
I am afraid that Tim Heaton was right in his tasting note of 02/02/24.
Overall I am finding that - for me - the "Super Tuscans" , apart from early Tignanello, very rarely deliver on the promises made in their marketing hype.
For me, another case of "emperor's new clothes"
Sorry, Gospodin Rote Kapelle!
