Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 20, 2009 - connoisseur wines spring european portfolio (Vivere, Chicago IL): nose: lovely, perfumed, and rich nose of red cherries, herbs, wild flowers, and some bits of spices with some wild strawberries. Very pretty, but with some power behind it at the same time

taste: very high acidity that does thrash the palate a bit with high tannins. What tones poke through are very nice with red cherries, herbs and some wild flowers

overall: certainly needs time. The acidity and tannins are a bit overbearing, but the nose is very pretty right now. Time should calm this all down and should reveal a real pretty barolo that should be a real pleasure to drink
