Devenish Thanksgiving Tasting
Brown Trading Company
Tasted November 18, 2011 by RajivAyyangar with 304 views
Introduction
The whites were iced and there was incredible food to accompany the wines: Caviar and uni pasta, seared tuna, cheeses, nuts, fresh scallop ceviche, fruit-and-nut-crackers... it was hard to resist the foods until I was done tasting!
Flight 1 (6 notes)
White
2009 Fratelli Pezzuto Roero Arneis
88 points
Arneis. Hint of grapefruit, sour tropical tones - reminiscent of moscato. P: light body, great flavors, strong acid, clean, and elegantly-fruited. Great!
White
2010 Passopisciaro Passopisciaro Bianco Guardiola
78 points
Light vanilla wood, faint moscato-like fruit. needs more acidity.
Rosé - Sparkling
N.V. Le Colture Rosé
80 points
Faint IBMP?! (I believe the importer said there's merlot in this?). Simple tart 'n juicy. needs more acidity and fruit.
Red
2008 Comelli Friuli Colli Orientali Soffumbergo
85 points
Med- garnet, lustrous in the glass. Aromas of dusty wood, olive. In the mouth it has dusty, baked fruit, med tannins, med acid, light+ body. Tastes well-balanced, but not exceptionally moving to me.
Red
2008 Podere San Cristoforo Maremma Toscana Carandelle
80 points
Sangiovese. Med- ruby in the glass. A pure town of beautiful cherry on the nose. The palate was a letdown - sawdust. Med- body, dusty tannins. Maybe the oak will calm down on this with age? Not sure if that happens with wines like this.
Red
2007 Piantate Lunghe Rosso Conero
87 points
Rich savory, warm fruit on the nose. Faintly oxidative character. In the mouth, med tannins, med/med- acid supports rustic fruit. Satisfying.
