Community Tasting Notes 6

    June 9, 2020 - Tasted blind, still full of vigor, red fruits, floral, light bodied and guessed a well made pinot but with some oak. Later more complexity developed and tea leaves, woodiness and some darker fruits..........switched to barbaressco. What a wine! One of the most satisfying and mysterious wine for a long time, Loved it! Bravo Jerry, for picking this up in Italy!

    February 6, 2015 - Immediately strong acid on the nose. Decant before drinking - the Ripe fruits and loong taste on the mouth. A pleasure!

    March 17, 2011 - All mature and ready to drink. Full bodied palate, nice aromas of dirt and fruit. Outstanding wine!
