Community Tasting Note

  • brouigu1 Likes this wine: 93 points

    December 29, 2018 - As I read some of the other notes the one theme that rings true for me is air time.

    PnP and enjoyed right away. Nose had the signature Antica Terra red fruits and funky earth which is very enjoyable. A tad disjointed on first attack but as this sat in the glass it opened up. Red fruits, earthy and hints of clove and oak spices.

    Day 2 this wine was amazing. So lush and integrated. All of the funky earth elements were more subdued and the red fruits were back in primary position. Medium ++ in body with great fruits and spices on the finish.

    Drinking very well with additional air time. Just a gorgeous wine.

    2/8/20, 9:40 PM - almost totally agree. Funky and disjointed on opening. Gassed and corked.
    next day way better. Gassed and corked. 2 days later: superb, 96. This has way more life left based on the above.
