Community Tasting Note

  October 26, 2019 - PnD let air for 1hr.
  
  Consistent with previous note.
  
  Screwed up as I was going to keep this for 10 years. This is in such a great place of exquisite balance depth and complexity. Great finish with cherry and savoury notes. Wow. Who says CCR (even though this is a Rufina it is the same quality) can’t equal Brunello.

  I see it listed in the BC liquor stores.

  Waiting for Frescobaldi's new Chianti Classico estate (Tenuta Perano)to have a listing in BC.

  it looks a little suspicious, when I click on the bottle it provides a description of a red wine.

  Frescobaldi does a white from their Pomino estate that used to be available in this market.
