Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - Vinous Piedmont Icons Dinner @ Legacy Records (Legacy Records, NYC): The 2000 Crichet Paje showed very poorly when first poured, but improved with time in the glass as some of the more oxidative notes blew off. I bet that a full bottle, with more time to contemplate the wine and more air exposure, could have shown better.
On the nose, I initially found an oxidative, stewed black plum fruit expression, but this blew off with time in the glass, turning into more pure black fruit. With time in the glass, I found black plum fruit, balsamic, leather, roasted meats, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine showed high acidity and was medium plus in body, with rustic black fruit, meat, and leather notes.
This wine was so dramatically different than the '04 Crichet Paje, but appealing in its own way.
