Community Tasting Notes 22

  March 9, 2024 - Coravin. Medium ruby, minimal bricking; high intensity aromatics, complex with both red and black cherry, spice; palate is medium bodied, medium-plus tannin, juicy red cherry fruit, balanced 13.5% alcohol; finish is medium-plus. Really stellar sangiovese, exactly what I expect from Le Trame. 93
  1 hour air: Even better, superb balance, tannins now more integrated, and overall everything I hope for in excellent sangiovese. Drinking superbly now, 93-95
  Remainder of the bottle: Just as good as the first Coravin pours. Really stellar.

  June 8, 2023 - So much in one bottle. Typical sangiovese in nose, and various palate swirling in mouth. Mainly red fruit, herbs (especially mint), spices in various kind. Very nice right after opening, gets its peak after an hour+ I guess, and enjoyable for quite a long time.
  Light and vivid style sangiovese, but quite deep and complex in palate as well. Too special to be called chianti.

  May 22, 2023 - All wine, no poker, Vol. 2 (Needham, Mass.): I have been hearing more about this producer recently -- featured in the Italian wine book by Joe Campanale -- so I was eager to try a recent purchase before laying out piles of cash. I decanted it about three hours ahead -- the first taste was intriguing, much more like Barolo than like Chianti: explosively aromatic, with a streak of mouth-watering acidity, and impressive dry-cherry depth. I tasted it again about 90 minutes later, and it had changed dramatically -- the acidity had disappeared, and the wine tasted much older, with a center of softly decadent plum flavor. After three hours in the decanter, it was another beast, still tasting older than seven, but more structured, with a rich dark-fruitedness. Of all the iterations, my favorite was the first, and so I might be inclined to buy more, but for drinking soon, without decanting.
