Community Tasting Notes 3

  October 28, 2010 - Medium ruby color with good clarity. Dried cherries, fresh cut flowers, strawberry and baking spice notes on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate with tart cherry really being the dominant flavor. The overall fruit level seems to have diminished and the acid is on the decline as well so I would say drink up if you are holding any of this vintage. It is still a pleasure to drink with a silky mouthfeel and low alcohol. Will definitely seek out more recent vintages of this wine.

  July 31, 2009 - Wow. This wine really showed great tonight. Dark ruby in the glass with perfect clarity to the edges. Gorgeous nose of red fruit, cinammon, black licorice and brown sugar. Similar flavors on the palate with the black licorice and cherry and strawberry notes coming through. Light to medium bodied, mouth watering acidity, low alcohol, silky smooth mouthfeel and long, lingering finish. This is the perfect food wine for some traditional Italian salumi and cheeses. A real classy wine that brought me back to when I first tasted it in Italy a couple years ago.
