Community Tasting Note

• thwacker Likes this wine: 89 points

  January 23, 2020 - Honestly, i was epecting way more. The nose was elegant but not overstated, but on the palate, the wine seemed unbalanced, with acidity way outpacing the fruit. Maybe i got a bad bottle? i have had much better reservas for half the price.

  Orrr, you may just not like the Tondonia style, in which case, give Bosconia a try.
