Community Tasting Note

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 1, 2023 - Really nice right now. Opening this at age 23 reveals a wine that lives up to this producer's reputation.

Dust, ripe black cherry, dried cranberry older leather, blood, clove, cola nut (with no sweetness at all), dried porcini mushroom. There's a certain muskiness aroma that really works for me. The palate adds black olives (on both the beginning and the end of the palate), blue cheese, smoked pork, tar and black licorice. Balsamic on the finish. Intensity of both flavors and aromas is both HIGH.

Full body with medium + acid and smooth medium tannin. Minute + long finish showing black olives and balsamic notes. I really like where this is; though of course it could go longer. I see it staying where it is OR improving over the next ten years; but I have absolutely no regrets that I opened this now.

Great pairing with Ragu di Cinghiale
