Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 15, 2024 - I had pulled the 1988 Pertimali Bruno di Montalcino as a back-up bottle to the 88 Pergole Torte about which I posted yesterday. Acquired on release. This cork was also in good shape, and I followed about the same decanting protocol as the PT. The initial impressions were positive, indeed there was a very fine bouquet of spice, leather and cedar that I found a bit lacking in the PT. The wine was very good, rich and round and with all of the flavor notes I'd expect to see in a BdM of this age and fine vintage, markedly on the redder side of the sangiovese color spectrum. In contrast to the PT, there was less acidity than the PT, so the wine came across as somewhat less structured. It seemed almost a bit watery in the center. So this showed as perhaps slightly on the downslope but was still a very heady experience. I'd say that it's greatest shortcoming that it was consumed 24 hours after a monumental bottle of Pergole Torte.
