Community Tasting Note

• BLSausTX Likes this wine: 90 points

  May 12, 2022 - EYE: dark brick red, consistent with aged Sangiovese, transitioning to lighter brick and clear at the edge
  NOSE: M+ intensity, dark black cherry, & black plum compote, leather, vanilla, purple flowers, touch of savory notes - soy sauce or hoisin.
  PALATE: M body, cherry dominates the entry, M(-) acid. Blue fruit, then savory notes mid-palate, wraps with vanilla and fine M+ tannins, cocoa powder. M finish
  OVERALL: still holding together after 16 years quite well but clearly has its foot in the mature wine pool. Dropping acidity and notes of voilatile acidity indicate soon is the best time to drink. I probably should have enjoyed this 2-4 years ago but was fun to see how this wine showed Brunello notes despite being 50% Cab Sauv.
