Community Tasting Note

• Eudemis Likes this wine:

  November 19, 2022 - 13.5% alcohol. Cork of excellent quality with no wine penetration and very little staining. Decanted an hour ahead. Bright colour of medium depth, just short of translucent.
  The nose has an appealing mix of dark and red fruit with spices added; bitter cherries and a powdery aspect that I could do without. In the mouth, the wine has excellent freshness and bright fruit; plenty of grip including some barely resolved tannins.
  I enjoyed this wine a lot more than on my previous encounter. It could still evolve into an even more harmonious wine.
  A possible repeat purchase.
  Compared with the Colle Massari Montecucco of the same vintage that I had recently (same broad area and same dominant grape), there are plusses and minuses, but taking price into account the Montecucco comes out on top.
