Community Tasting Notes 5

    August 29, 2021 - Criado durante 7 meses en barricas de roble francés el 80% del vino y el 20% restante en roble americano.

    Una prueba que me gusta hacer cada tanto: agarrar un vino que no fue pensado para la guarda y ver cómo evolucionó luego de varios años en botella.

    Primera buena señal: el corcho estaba en perfecto estado. Costó sacarlo, pero no sé rompió y estaba hinchado en la parte inferior lo que garantiza que no filtró el oxígeno.

    Segunda buena señal: si bien el color es atejado y el vino está turbio a la vista, algo totalmente esperable, en nariz está muy bien. No hay signos de que vaya a estar mal sino todo lo contrario.

    Encontré aromas a mermelada de arándanos y frambuesas, membrillos, tabaco y alguna nota especiada.

    En boca tiene taninos dulces, es muy amable, complejo y tiene final largo. Me gustó mucho, realmente me sorprendió.

    May 1, 2012 - De um belíssimo, brilhante e intenso tom rubi violáceo, mostra uma pequena borda e não deixa a luz passar pelo olho. É muito aromático, lembrando frutas vermelhas maduras, mas em "uma chave" um pouco diferente do Malbec. Lembra groselha e framboesa, por exemplo, contando ainda com alguma baunilha, resultado de sua passagem por madeira: 80% em carvalho francês (Chêne) e 20% em carvalho americano (Oak), por 7 meses. É mais delicado, mais amável, mais, digamos, "feminino", o que foi uma surpresa para mim, que havia colocado na cabeça que ele seria mais "rústico".

    October 14, 2011 - Dark purple red, very dense. Intriguing nose of manure and purple paint; not too expressive. This wine is rather in decline. Nice almost full body, but all is very atypical to sangiovese Flavors of black currant, and fairly strong acidity and somewhat disjointed finish. Not very harmonious or pleasant at all.

    June 16, 2011 - Ruby red of half brilliancy and intensity. Somewhat shy on the nose, yet interesting enough, aromas of cherry cotton candy. Not very typical sangiovese at all. A bit better character on the palate, showing some sour cherry and ending copper notes. Medium tannins, very agreeable. Fairly sweet tannins dancing with a dry finish. Lacks fruit intensity.
