Thursday, January 22, 2009 - Mark De Grazia selections: 05 Barolos, 04 Brunellos, 06 Barbarescos (MK, Chicago IL): nose: very aromatic nose filled with red cherries, herbs, lush florals, and slight hints of tar. Lovely nose that is a bit reticent at this time
taste: massive tannins and acidity that are mouth inverting with tones of red cherries, herbs, florals, and various spices
overall: The nose is really good right now, but the tannins and acidity are too much at this point. Will need a good amount of time to start to come around
