Community Tasting Note

Pscordilis Likes this wine:

Friday, July 24, 2015 - It has been a while since I was blown away, and this wine did it. The nose was dark fruit, tobacco with some herbal notes. Decanted for about an hour. Initial taste was stewed fruit with a very complex and layered finish. Vegetable notes at the back (green pepper). The long finish was smooth and allowed the wine to be savored. The mouth feel was lush and velvety. As the wine opened hints of raisin pushed through without being intrusive. We enjoyed this following a sancerre but I made the mistake of drinking it with my seared foie gras which did not pair well. The next course of ricotta gnocchi with a sausage bolognese could not have been a better complement. This is definitely a food wine, I only wish I had a few more bottles. Can't wait to dive into the poggio antico reserves in a few years.
