Community Tasting Notes 2

  July 28, 2020 - Quest to complete my tasting of all DOCG of Italy; 6/5/2020-8/31/2020 (Home in NL and holiday home in Maremma / Italy): Deep ruby/red color.
  Full aroma’s of cherry, blackcurrant and some leather and a hint of chocolate. Full bodied with big, smooth and mouth coating tannins and some fresh acidity and ripe fruit. A long finish with a spur/spicy zing to it.
  A classic mouth full of a Sagrantino!
  It has some further ageing potential but I’m not sure it will actually improve. Drink now - 2027.
  
  My experience was quite different from an other note here on CT. This bottle didn’t have any (sweet/caramelised) Amarena and it clearly had some good freshness of acidity that made it lively.
  Maybe that bottle was cooked?
  I bought my bottle at a supermarket in Maremma/Tuscany. I assume it comes straight from the producer.

  September 17, 2018 - Amarena and sour cherry. Plenty of dark chocolate in the nose. It is a mouthful.......dark chocolate comes in pieces. Some sour fruit and tannins. Tannins.TANNINS. acidity is pretty low. Ageing potential a definite yes, but will lack balance due to lack of acidity when tannins subside.
