Community Tasting Note

  • Takeshi wrote: 88 points

    July 21, 2021 - Its not bad, but it's not good either. First day the tannin will linger around your tongue for a minute. It's not complex just grippy. If you like rubbing leather for days this it your tea. It took 4 days for tannins to settle and 5 days to make this an average wine with floral nose and some dark fruit on palette. 91 after 5 days is an 88 because waiting 3 days for average is not very eventful. This review is to express the wine as it is now. It's purpose is not to indicate and project how much better it can become.

    7/22/21, 8:24 AM - I agree that Produttori Torre is a wine to either drink on release in a forward vintage like 2015, or to hold at least 8-10 years from vintage. Of course, there is no guarantee it will emerge better with age. But the period several years after release where the exuberant fruit has settled but the structure hasn't yet evolved is riskiest. Definitely that is one of drawbacks of Nebbiolo--most vintages it doesn't stay open & the structure is too great for most to enjoy in those stages.
