Community Tasting Note

  March 13, 2020 - Yet another vintage with low quality corks. Cork was totally soaked and stained along the outer edge. Pours with light brown rims. Smiles/tastes maderized. It’s common for producers to cellar bottles of Brunello wherever they can before release (I’ve seen owner’s family and dining rooms - surely well into the 20C+ range) and this bottle toasted both oxidized and heat exposed. It’s been cellared since release in a VK so it’s not my doing. If you have bottles, suggest remove the neck seal and inspecting cork health with a flashlight (smartphone works fine). I’ve only got 3 bottles of the 2010 from this producer and don’t expect I’ll ever buy from it again.
