Community Tasting Note

• nschmidt Does not like this wine:

  May 16, 2016 - I bought my stash from Enoteca di Piazza in Montalcino and had it shipped to US. The wine I am drinking seems too acidic and not full bodied, like a cheap chianti. All 4 bottles I have drunk seem nothing like what I am reading about here. I have the 2004 from the same source and it is wonderful. I am at a loss as to what the problem is.

I have had two bottles of this and it is outstanding and consistent with the notes here, so thinking something must have happened during transport.
