Community Tasting Notes 49

  February 6, 2022 - Something way off on this bottle. Smells corked, but the smell doesn't build as TCA normally does. The palate is off and doesn't improve. An uncharacteristic off bottle.

  February 5, 2022 - The Paso Robles is, as always, 100% Zin, while the Pagani is 82% Zin, 16% Alicante Boushet, and 2% Petite Sirah. Both wines sit prettily in the glass with a clarity of deep burgundy for the Paso Robles and a deep purple for the Pagani. Both have notes of telltale rhubarb, blackberry, and mocha, but the Pagani is much more exact in its delivery. It also has distinct and youthful brown sugar and spice notes, particularly black pepper which kicks in just after the attack and punch through the long finish. The Paso Robles has nothing exacting about it: round and soft with maybe some rose notes. Gone are the “grip … [and] big tannins” from a few years back. The always conservative back labels suggest consuming the Paso Robles by 2018 and this year for the Pagani. The Paso Robles is still quite fine and holding its own, but I will likely begin drinking these up at this point. However, the Pagani can easily go another five years. The Paso Robles carries 14.4% alc. while the Pagani clocks in at 14.9% alc. Both are throwing sediment, but the Paso Robles threw more between these two bottles. With the first (beef) chili of the year. 02.05.22. Recommended, but the Pagani is the clear winner.

  March 12, 2020 - Definitely some problems with this bottle - just lacking enough fruit to balance the obvious oxidization and musty notes. Drink em up!!

  February 23, 2020 - 100% Zin. A powerful wine of finesse and complexity. The nose and palate are synonymous with rhubarb and Zin fruitiness, cinnamon and vanilla. A wonderful Zin. A thick shadow of sediment on the upper shoulder. 14.4% alc. With MOP pizza made by DDB. Recommended.
