Community Tasting Notes 8

  October 7, 2023 - Hitting that lovely 10 year old Brunello spot right now, this is mature but still with years of life left in it. Cherry liqueur, blackberry compote, a bit of muddiness that keeps this from getting to where 2015 is but this is still a good wine that remains at a reasonable price point.

  November 22, 2021 - Our final wine at the 22nd Virtual Wine Tasting event was the capstone of our Italian themed night. We had tried three new-to-the-group varietals so I wanted to circle back to familiar roots with a Sangiovese from Brunello. The tasters got the usual cherry and tar that we expected plus black and white pepper, iron, brine and (unfortunately) stewed prune and stewed apricot which told me the wine was already fading fast. On the palate this fear was confirmed by the light-bodied nature of the wine that had low to medium tannins, medium acidity and a short finish. The flavors we got were cherry, briny salt and iron. I was hoping for some leather, tobacco, dried herbs- alas it was not to be. A massive disappointment for me personally as I always hope for 1 home run wine per tasting. At $70 this 90 pointer only gets 2 stars from me. Drink now if you have any.

  March 25, 2021 - For the AFWE, with its classic color, aromas and medium>med+ body. Impressive structure that I hope does not outlive the fruit. Probably in its preferred zone 2024-2036. The palate remained much more closed than I would have liked; an hour of air in decanter did little. HOLD. 14,5% abv. For its full potential, it's highly recommended
