Community Tasting Note

  • logos Likes this wine: 77 points

    January 3, 2020 - soft, elegant, refined nose is ripe and plummy, hint of tar. sleek, sprightly wine, more piquant and vibrant, with more delicacy than barolos drunk alongside. good acidity, excellent balance and length

    9/14/20, 6:55 AM - Bradetti - I came across another very low score accompanied by a solid TN review by this user. I clicked LOGO's profile to see all TNs and it is clear that this user does *NOT* conform to the 100-point scale published by CT (*).

    Other examples include:

    54 points "...flat nose improves a bit with air to simple ok fruit but with some tca. drinkable and fairly good at first, but declines"

    56 points "light pleasant nose of fresh red fruits; well balanced, not much tannin; simple, bit too clean, rather modern style; but good."

    68 points "Delicate, cristaline, lightly fruity nose is quite pleasant and very Burgundian
    Light body, seamless well-wrought structure. Simple, but very agreeable taste and clean finish. Excellent value"

    There are *many* wines scored in the "Avoid" range that are accompanied by TNs that indicate a solid if simple table wine or even a nice / good wine.

    Scores in the 70s (Below/Average) include many TNs that indicate good to very good wines.
