Community Tasting Note

November 21, 2022 - Opened and poured into a decanter at a dinner in Philly with a visiting SF at Sally (great dinner by the way, delicious place). This is a super interesting wine made in the style of Amarone (grapes air-dried etc.), but with a mixture of heritage and almost extinct Italian varietals (sometimes 15) from Zyme in the Veneto region. Really, really interesting and quite closed still at first sip. But as the dinner went on this opened up spectacularly in the decanter into some sweet coffee-like notes, along with some beautiful red cherry and mint that left a fresh and timely finish on the palate. As the wine opened up more there were jammy notes of berry and just an exquisite, yet powerful balance to each sip. Definitely will age into even more impressiveness in the next ~5 years I would think. Either decant for a couple hours now or hold for a few more years! Excellent and very unique wine.
