December 4, 2023 - [0.5] Blinds at Mission Bay Wine and Cheese (Mission Bay Wine and Cheese): Medium minus ruby - ruby rim.
Some age (tamari tertiary and balsamic / VA notes). Some slight raisinated fruit. Some savory tomato. Slight funk and slight oxidation.
Medium-minus body. Elevated alcohol - 14%. High tannins. Chewy. Medium plus acid.
Barolo or Barbaresco. This feels a little sluggish acid-wise, but otherwise has plenty of development.
Langhe nebbiolo - wouldn't have this much tertiary development.
Etna rosso - would have lower alcohol, tannins, and higher acid.
Brunello - higher acid.
Final guess: 2018 Nebbiolo - Barbaresco
But it has some white pepper - could totally be Etna Rosso.
Actually: 2021 Kompassus - Baga / Touriga nacional, Bairrada, Portugal. - NON-CLASSIC
This is an exceptionally light Bairrada, according to the proprietor. Rather peppery. Not sure how I'd get to Bairrada. On tasting it warm - feels like etna rosso. No major miss.
