Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 12, 2012 - Does anything else taste like mature Giacosa? Slow-oxed for 5 hours then decanted for 3 more. An enticing nose of menthol, signature Giacosa burnt brown sugar, roses, spice, herbs, and sour cherries. Amber-brown in the glass; the medium bodied palate was built around sappy, tarry cherries & the acidity of an artisanal vinegar. It is difficult to add much more in the way of meaningful descriptors; the wine possessed a certain mysterious air and depth that refuses dissection—an ancient pillar.
