Community Tasting Note

  March 15, 2020 - Records not handy. Probably part of an Italian assortment purchased from Sam's 18 years ago--bought several, probably less than 12/b. Decanted with normal sediment for its age; some amber edge around a dark purple core; mature plum, some old leather that follow on the palate, hint of dusty cocoa, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Past prime but a tasty complement for "supreme" pizza. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.
