Community Tasting Note

  May 30, 2016 - I agree with the over extracted comments. Candied sour cherry and balsamic on the nose and palate. Spicy in the mouth and lacking freshness. Tannins and acid worked well with a grilled porterhouse.
  
  Something is amiss here. I've had the white label from this vintage and while modern in style it was nowhere near as extracted. In addition I see that Cathy Corison called the '08 Tenuta Nuova "beautiful" on the Delectable app and based off of the types of wines she makes, I could not see her calling the wine that I drank beautiful. Is there some strange bottle variation going on?

  5/31/16, 7:50 PM - I am a big fan of Corison's cabs and your note is not describing the wine I have had, of which I tasted several bottles over the last six months. Either you got a bad batch or you are not decanting the wine to let it open up (e.g., see one of the January 2016 notes here).
