Monday, March 29, 2010 - Novoino's 4th annual portfolio tasting (Park Hyatt Hotel, Chicago IL): nose: pretty and perfumed nose of red fruits, red currants, red cherries, berries and spice tones. Good depth but on the tight side right now
taste: very smooth and plush medium feel with medium+ acidity and balanced tones of red fruits, red currants, red cherries and berry tones. Good depth, but the tones are a bit muted right now
overall: This has some real room to grow. Well balanced with a real sexy style to it and good depth on both the nose and palate. It was a bit muted on both the nose and palate, but the raw materials are certainly there
