Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 30, 2014 - Opened at 11:30 am to drink at 7 pm. Smelled briny, like an over the hill Burgundy. Looked like red swamp water.
At 7pm beautiful wine. Clean rustic fruit. When I say clean, there was nothing inhibiting the fruit, such as oak. The fermenting process in cement makes this different from any wine I've ever tasted. The nose and taste I can only compare to an aged Burgundy but with a hard to explain cleaner and purer fruit. Others thought the nose was like an Amarone. By far the WOTN. My next action is to buy more!

Took a 2003 Tuderi for a week ago and had more or less the same experience with the color (or non-color) and development. Looking forward to the 2005 Tenores.
