Community Tasting Notes 3

  November 16, 2019 - Whatever pepper was there in 2006 has mellowed away. Very pleasant sweetish Tuscan. A true pleasure to drink now. I wonder, 2002 being one of the worst vintages in last 20 years, what a good vintage of this tastes like. This has a good barbaresco notes for me. Some menthol, chocolate, good fruit.

  November 13, 2006 - Colour is dense, ruby/purple. At first the nose is packed and stacked with freshly ground white pepper, laurels and raspberries. The pepper is almost unpleasant. The concentration is fine and some fruit is present. But to me, again almost too much pepper on the palate, mixed with some tobacco, herbs and a touch of strong espresso. The fruit seems slightly green and unripe or is this just the characteristics of this grape, this vegetal touch? Not my style of wine although it softens up and becomes better integrated with air.

  November 1, 2006 - Dark red color with a purple edge. The nose is rather closed, but with some apparent pepper, hints of cherry, as well as green and mineral tones, together with a bit of coffee. The taste is a whole other story, first with red currant and cranberry, and as nice integrate acidity. Afterwards more complex nuances hit the palate, with dark berries and soft tannins. Finally a lot of pepper and mocca. Needs more time.
