Community Tasting Note

  • Josephd Does not like this wine: 80 points

    January 1, 2023 - Strawberry nose, astringent, high tannin. This could be too young. Will wait until 2026 for 2nd bottle.

    2/8/23, 5:15 PM - A little confused here. CT shows "1/1/2023 - JOSEPHD DOES NOT LIKE THIS WINE:" but you scored it a '97'.

    2/9/23, 6:27 PM - My original 97 was an error. I did not like it. Poured it down the drain. Could have been a bad bottle. Wife bought it because the bird on the label was cute. She didn’t like it either.

    2/9/23, 7:07 PM - Thanks for updating the score. We're advised to never buy wines with animals on the label, because it's almost always a gimmick used by sub-par producers. But there are exceptions. And I'm a sucker for an artfully drawn, beautiful bird. And several Italian producers do label with the bird, e.g. Uccelliera of course. And some are really nice wines. But the bird did you wrong here.
