Vini Rossi-L'Ultimo Piano (Asti Trattoria): This syrah finished at the bottom of our siciliani tre bicchieri, as it seemed more new world and less nuanced than our other wines. For some it was too green and vegetal, with notes of canned asparagus, menthol, okra--this group tasted it an hour after the wine was opened. Another group, tasting the wine after it was first opened, found a smokiness and deep and ripe red fruits, strong tannins, good acidity, and little nuance to the wine (like the nero d'avolas showed). So the wine's fruit and balance seemed to diminish an hour after opening--better drink up!
