Community Tasting Note

  • NickA Likes this wine: 96 points

    September 17, 2020 - Giovanni Manetti on Fontodi (Zoom!): Opaque purple. So much concentration, and a creamy feel, but so light on its feet. Lavender and herbs. Sweet and bitter. I wanted not to be impressed by this, given I can't afford it (having been a buyer of prior vintages), but I failed.

    9/18/20, 5:31 AM - I was lucky. I bought bottles of '11, '13, '15 and '16 when they were released at the same price.
