Community Tasting Note

• brouigu1 Likes this wine: 91 points

  February 28, 2020 - Enjoyed this bottle with some Ravioli Lasagna and it was a great pairing.
  
  Opened and decanted for an hour. Tasted upon open and it was a tad tight but the red fruits came though. Translucent edges with a dark purple core.
  
  After decanting the wine came together and showed several layers of red fruits, black fruits some cigar box and herbal/mineral finish. This is drinking very well IMO and is a great food wine. Not the best Brunello but for the price this was spot on!
