Community Tasting Note

  June 1, 2019 - it's been a long time since I have had a bottle of Luce and this served by friends was a reminder that this is not really my style. The wine is dark and big, very extracted and with a heavy dose of new oak which is still unresolved. Fruit up front and very tannic finish which subsided a bit after some time in the decanter and once we added some lamb into the experience. This wine will definitely have it's fans. You can call it Modern but then again so is Valdicava and I would not put this into the same class. If you think of the style of La Spinetta Barbaresco compare to it's more traditional neighbors you get a good idea of the type of BdM this is. In any case i would think that this has enough stuff going on to improve with another 3-5 years but you have to like the style to warrant the investment of time and $.
