Community Tasting Notes 5

  December 18, 2016 - Showing well, albeit slightly shy on the nose. Earthy dried cherry, cool spice aromas, typical for the region. Clean medium-bodied wine, filigreed texture, minerality on finish. Light tannins, medium acidity. Love the elegant, yet concentrated palate, while the nose is a bit tight albeit on target.

  September 5, 2014 - This TOP pedigree, GREAT year, Valtellina was nice, certainly drinkable, enjoyable even, but a wine worthy of adulation and envy? Not.
  
  Decent aromatics but lack those ethereal high notes that the finest wines from the region posses. On the palate its thin, lacks fresh fruit, has notes of savory. Overall the impression is one of a flat safe wine that was made a little too much to formula (homogenized even) at the expense of something a bit more "alive".
  
  A bit of a disappointment compared to better examples from the area.
