Community Tasting Note

April 22, 2020 - Poured a glass by Coravin. Medium translucent garnet with a perfumey, floral nose accented by cigar leaf and spicebox. Hits you with a laser beam of mouth-puckering candied sour cherry and cranberry flavors, which quickly fade into a soft, low-tannin finish. Not the most complex of wines and probably drinking at its apex now. Nose became more expressive and flavors lingered a bit longer after about an hour in the glass. Not sure when this was released but the first CT note is from 2012, and I bought mine in 2018, so it seems the folks at Punset might hold their releases until they're ready to drink.

Full disclosure, I don't pretend to be an expert on evaluating the aging curves of Italian wines, as I am still learning about them and tend to drink more "mature" examples (mostly late '90s Barolos and Brunellos now). It is also hard to extrapolate about an aging curve when you haven't sampled the same wine at multiple time points, but I do see some value in revisiting the same bottle over multiple days.
