Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 21, 2013 - Pop and pour, extremely mineral nose displaying iron, earth, tar, fruit cake, soy, leather, anise, dry fig and a hint of flower as the end note. The palate is very lean and comes with mouth coating dry tannins. With 24 hours of air, strong ash/scorched earth note as well as iron, tar, flower, charred steak, soy, leather, walnut and dry fruits. Although the color is very youthful, the flavor is mostly tertiary. It is also a semi rustic masculine wine with strong mineral expression and monstrous structure. The Barolo fanatics looking for iron, tar, smoke and rose will love this wine, perhaps around mid 90s, but most folks who look for obvious fruits will scratch their heads. I would highly recommend minimum 12 hours of decanting.
