Community Tasting Notes 7

    December 24, 2023 - Ein anständiger Brunello, welcher zumindest im Moment hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleibt.

    Zurückhaltende Aromatik, vorwiegend tertiäre Aromen wie Leder, Tabak. Alkoholisch, im Mund aber nicht so körperreich wie erwartet, astringierende Tannine auch nach 2h in der Karaffe.

    Wird langlebig sein, vielleicht in einigen Jahren runder und komplexer. Vielleicht auch nicht.

    November 26, 2023 - Amazed that people describe this as medium bodied! 15.5% abv, high flavour intensity, great complexity, high acidity and medium plus tannin does not constitute a medium bodied wine. Guys, this is a full bodied wine all day long. This is drinking superbly at the moment, but there is a clear case to hold this for many more years. It has everything. Tertiary notes are really starting to develop and this is going to gain significantly more complexity over the next decade or so. Just wish I’d held for a few more years.

    January 3, 2022 - Pretty ruby color. Dark fruits, cassis, orange peel and tart red raspberry. Firm, chalky tannins and a beautiful Sangiovese mouthfeel.

    p.s. Sicilian pizza on a cauliflower crust

    August 30, 2021 - Deep garnet red, with ruby reflections on swirling. The nose is earthy, moist forest floor, cassis, and hints of leather. Medium bodied with forward tannins and a long lingering finish. The palate opens up with ripe red fruit, dates, dried fig, and a spicy finish of tobacco and pepper. Still young. Next bottle in 2 years.

    July 21, 2019 - Young. Tight and earthy at first. Started to show fruit after a 2 hour decant. Vibrant acidity and tight tannins, give this puppy a few years to come together. Should turn out to be medium-bodied treat then.
