Community Tasting Notes 11

  • Devlon Moore Likes this wine:

    June 11, 2023 - An impossibly good wine. Such good balance between vertical structure and grip and horizontal fruit depth with stunning deep purple color. You can hold it for a few more years but it’s in a pretty damn good spot so I would drink it and if you can find it for under $25.00 buy it. Buy it all.

  • LARich Likes this wine: 90 points

    April 4, 2023 - Strong and still quite tannic. Maybe needs a little more time to show full
    Potential.

  • Ulveström Does not like this wine: 87 points

    March 4, 2023 - Cant really make peace with barbera as a grape. It rarely do it for me. Cant put a finger on the issue but maybe its just the unjustified compasion to nebbiolo.

    This was a little fizzy and a bit alcoholic. Didnt take notes though.

    April 17, 2022 - Does not require decanting, a good spaghetti wine. Fruit forward and a little raisin on the finish. Not hot.

    September 10, 2021 - Was a bit surprised by the concentration and full fruit in this wine. A bit too much for me. But well made and still young.
