Community Tasting Notes 4

  October 20, 2011 - Smells of cherry cola, light floral notes, pumice and something astringent, like cleaning chemicals. It's not particularly unpleasant but it's not interesting. The palate is very dry and makes the mouth pucker. Bright fresh cherries show first. As the structure takes over some wood and dirt road show on the finish. Strong acidity, firm tannins that have a nice feel. Overall it's pleasing wine, I just didn't find it that interesting.

  October 20, 2011 - Barbaresco at WWS: Very fruity and soft aromas, almost candied in nature. Forward in a very unstructured kind of way. The soft fruit carries onto the palate which is lightly tannic, bitter, quite light, and generic. Slightly grippy on the finish, but really not much in the way of complexity or interest. Puckering flavors. Mild, and non-offensive (unlike some of the Barbarescos to follow), just light and flabby.

  September 24, 2007 - Did not show many traditional nebbiolo qualities. It did however have nice acidity. It was a decent bottle of wine, just not what I was hoping for. It did improve greatly after an hour... but again, not a traditional piedmonte wine IMO. Not sure how to rate it actually. Average-79pts.
