Community Tasting Note

• Canoehead Does not like this wine: 87 points

  September 10, 2018 - I would expect more from a CC Riserva from a pretty good vintage. Old world style, muted dried fruit on the nose and the palate. Brick red with traces of a orange rim. Acid is dropping out ahead of the tannin and the fruit. Did wake up a bit with food - parm-regg, olives, marinara pasta. Otherwise, quite underwhelming. May be braising with the last bottle.

Have just returned from France trip and there was plenty to sample at really affordable prices - grocery shelf Crozes Hermitage (2016) for just 9 euros and it was terrific! I'll get back on the TN horse very soon! I really want to hear about the Francois tasting...
