Community Tasting Notes 3

  April 25, 2019 - Donatella Cinelli Colombini dinner (RPM Italian, Chicago, IL): Nose: The nose is expressive and mature, filled with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, balsamico notes, tobacco, licorice, roasted herbs, and rose petals. There is good depth and balance that shows off a lot of elegance.
  
  Taste: The feel is medium bodied with medium+ acidity and silky, resolved, medium tannins. The acidity is a little sharp and angular, but the feel is polished and balanced with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, earth tones, licorice, balsamico notes, and tobacco tones.
  
  Overall: This is a beautifully mature Brunello. It feels like it's towards the end of its peak as there is a slight soy quality to the tones. Still, it is exactly what one wants from a mature Brunello as the expressive side is in full bloom along with a distinct savoriness.

  June 20, 2006 - Complex red berries and earth aroma and taste. Medium body. Smooth throughout with soft tanins. Drinkable now and for the next few years. Very good wine.
