Community Tasting Notes 30

  February 4, 2023 - At 15+ years of age, this is probably drinking as well as it ever will. Red and black fruit on the nose and palate, with decent acidity. On a cold Saturday afternoon, this is just fine for sitting inside and forgetting about the chilly temperatures 🍷

  April 1, 2022 - Decanted for 30 minutes, but better after about an hour. A very nice 15-year-old Brunello that surprised us a bit. The color was a clear medium purple to a faded rim. The nose presented lots of red fruits and earth, with a touch of cigarette ash. The medium bodied palate showed the same red fruits, a bit more earth than on the nose, some spice, a touch of that cigarette ash, and a touch of tannin (which was resolving during the decanting). Probably past peak but still very enjoyable now. Drink up.

  December 31, 2021 - I tasted this wine back in 2014. It tasted very closed back then and took a long amount of decanting to open up, then it tasted great. Having it tonight for NYE and it’s Lip.Smacking.GOOD!!!! Still very tannic with a total garnet color at this time. Great aromas of plum, dark chocolate, some spicy and earthy notes. I get aromas of a nice Cuban cigar when I twirl it in my glass. Oh.The.Flavors! Still fruity and creamy with prominent notes of dark chocolate. This wine can definitely last a couple more years. This bottle won’t make it through the night though :-) Very good selection to start 2022.

  December 30, 2021 - This might be the best showing I've had yet for this wine. I just had a glass of the 2006 Salicutti Piaggone - I normally would expect that wine to outperform this one, but tonight I'm not so sure. This is seamless on the palate, with good persistence through the finish. Maybe a little straightforward on the nose, but other than that, drinking well tonight.

  March 7, 2021 - Good Brunello - color was a little pale given the age but still good. Perhaps would have had it a couple of years sooner.
