Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - Color: Brick red, a lovely age filters the light in the wine to a warm delicate hue browning a little at the rim. This looks like a 25 year-old barolo. I love barolo that is not over-burdened with color for the sake of color.

Nose: Beautiful nose of crushed berries, strawberries and tree bark.

Taste: Lovely lite red fruit with a subdued personality. Most of the tannin has melted away and the wine is very balanced. Seems much older than it is but other than that, so obvious signs of the warm vintage. Really elegant and pure. Not a lot of complexity but it has class to burn.

Overall: This is a beautiful wine. This wine is sweet and feminine and there is depth to the low undertones. I think over time, as the wine ages, it could add a little more weight as Monprivato sometimes does. If that happens, in time, this wine will be sureal.
