Community Tasting Note

• Rolle27 Likes this wine: 93 points

  January 12, 2018 - This was my 4th experience with this wine from 2010, and finally it is beginning to wake up from its hibernation. Still not ready, but a 2 hrs decant revelead some of the potential. Acidity is significant, so are the floral elements - mainly roses. If you never understood what the term Rose Petals means when describing a wine, this guy will explain it all.
  A succulent Brunello style, with refined meaty and earthy notes. Ripe dark fruit is there, but still as a very subtle layer. Dark chokolate and truffle as well. If you peel an orange and smell your fingers, you´ll find a lot of similarities in this wine. Way more to come from this fellow. Give it 2-4 more years and I am sure that you will find a lovely friend to match your ribeye for the next many years. It will never be a 98 points (Parker) wine in my optic, but with that said, it just went from a bit dissapointing to a very interesting drink to follow in the coming years. Really looking forward to the next encounter in 12 months time to see if it gained more bellyfat in terms of tobacco, riped cherry and chocolate to balance the acidity.
