Community Tasting Notes 5

December 14, 2019 - Strawberry and rose petal on the nose. On the palate, black cherry and strawberry with notes of rose petal and tar on the medium to long finish, with strong tannins and powerful acidity. This still seems very young after 18 years, and it should improve further - the Cellartracker drinking window is far too short. For now, decant this or hold for three to five years. This is excellent, and it was an excellent value at about $45.

February 13, 2015 - This is young, great, and unfortunately my last bottle. This is Grassos tribute to old school barolo (40 days on skins), natural yeasts, and big barrel. Classic nose of tar and roses with freshness and acidity. Just a great...can go fo many years, but it is good now.

February 13, 2011 - Very pretty. This is just a very pretty wine. Some orange color on the rim. Floral, fresh, good acid, very little funkiness (in a very pleasant way), and perfumy!
It didn't need to be decanted. -

March 14, 2006 - This is just a lovely wine. One of the prettiest wines to look at I've had in a while, showing tranluscent, shimmering, ruby red colors with an amber edge to the mostly clear rim. A swirling, sparkling, nose with tar and flowers and red fruits alternating singing lead and harmony. Very pure and lively in the mouth, perfurmed, with good pure fruit riding on top of truffle, tar, flowers. Very, very long with sweet, ripe, tannin at the end. I was delighted at how open and giving this is now, although there is no doubt that it has plenty of material to age on. Very, very good.
