Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 8, 2011 - Color clear, medium + ruby.
Nose is clean, medium intensity with notes of fruit and secondary – barrel. Youthful.
Palate is dry, medium alchohol. Tannins are high and slightly green. Acidity is high. Flavor intensity is medium -, flavors are of sour cherry and secondary. Finish is short because the tannin strikingly cuts it off.
Overall this is hard to assess. It is youthful wine, it has the tannins and acidity to age. However, the flavor intensity does not seem strong enough to develop. On the other hand, the bottle was just opened and it may broaden out and release with air.
I would guess that this becomes more interesting and easier to assess as it opens.
Sangiovese, guessing some form of Brunello.
