Community Tasting Notes 25

  August 2, 2021 - Standard 750 and first bottle of '90 Barolo; I have to say this exceeded expectations. The fill level was superb and the cork was only saturated about 25% up so clearly the seal was good. The nose here was heavenly. Loads of truffles, ripe red cherries and raspberries, anise, mint, dried rose petal, and tar. It's really just gorgeous and it explodes out of the glass. The palate is big, still with lots of robust tannin that absolutely needs food; that said it seems reasonably balanced as the concentration is also massive. I have to say I loved it. It paired great with a truffle cream stuffed pork loin and it kept expanding in the glass.

  July 10, 2020 - From double magnum. Decanted 2 hours
  Nose initially clean but restrained
  Opened to a deep red with some softening at the rim
  Well evolved and very smooth.
  Plenty left for the patient.
