Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 14, 2018 - 1989 Piedmont Retrospective (Cinghiale, Baltimore): Beautiful perfectly mature complex nose displaying subtle sweet red fruit, strawberry jam, raspberry, dry cherry, cedar, spearmint, anise, Asian spices, cinnamon, leather and iron mineral. Perfect balance and harmony, very finely layered subtle sweet red fruit, soft, sweet and warm, exceptional precision and detail, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, most resolved very fine tannins, and an incredibly long sweet red fruit driven finish with a hint of mint and Asian spices at the end. With air, constrantly transforming, becoming very Burgundian. Initially not as good as the Rionda but gets better and better. A rare occasion where I have the privilege of drinking two perfect wines.
