Community Tasting Note

    June 23, 2020 - Opened as part of our first blind zoom tasting from 3 oz glass bottle.

    When I decanted this and poured it into the bottles it has a pure and beautiful nose and a tiny pour showed fruit redolent of raspberries.

    Unfortunately when poured from the small glass bottles it has that really cheesy funky offputting nose you sometimes get with old Barolo. I kept hoping it would blow off but it didn't over the course of the Zoom call.

    Quite good on the palate if you could get past the nose. Still tannic but a fine match with the steak and mushrooms I cooked to go with it. But disappointing overall and I'm not certain whether to serve my remaining bottle immediately after opening or give it a really long decant.

    Purchased as part of the distributor close out about 20 years ago.
