Community Tasting Notes 7

  October 2, 2009 - After three years the wine hasn't changed much from the first note, Blended with a fruit forward nebbiola 50/50 to get a drinkable balance. I will see what tonight brings, more age maybe needed to mellow the tannin and acid. Thin and dry, loganberry sourness, tannic and astringent, strong finish. After 5 days the wine has not lost any of the harshness.

  March 16, 2009 - Spectacularly good for $12.99 + 3 years in the cellar. Aromas of violets, black tea, char and plums. Still fairly drying on the tongue, so it must have been a challenge in its youth. Now meaty and plummy flavors, with silky, well-integrated tannins and a cedar note in the finish. That meatiness is delicious, like rare steak. Have no idea what others are talking about. This was nebbiolo at its affordable best.

  March 29, 2008 - bland, not interesting, some cherry, some tea leaf, not corked but like eating a piece of cardboard.

  April 11, 2007 - This wine needs some food...When first opened, smelled of sour cherries and white truffles, but never really takes me anywhere.
  Weird mouthfeel!

  September 21, 2006 - This wine was totally lackluster without much merrit. Bland with very little fruit or any distinctive flavors. Boring!
