Community Tasting Notes 4

  • pvmaanen Likes this wine:

    April 20, 2022 - Fantastic wine. Ready to drink. Decanted for 3 hours. Robust but elegant, some pepper at the end with long finish.

    February 26, 2021 - Highly extracted, dense, port like wine lacking any freshness or typicity of a Tuscan wine.

    July 20, 2013 - Fig, smooth, yummy

  • WineArchitect Does not like this wine: 84 points

    February 19, 2011 - I was stupidly persuaded to purchase this wine and god knows why. This wine was unresolved and alcoholic upon opening. I was hoping it would blow off and show some kind of fruit, but there is non of any kind to be found, except at the finish which shows signs of alcahol heat and possibly licorice? Spend your money on wines that show some sort of fruit! Sorry folks for blowing off. EG WineArchitect
