  November 16, 2012 - A tad lifted ripe fruit nose with prunes, raisins and crushed dark berries. Some bitter almond, peach stone and toasted wood notes.
  Fullbodied but not that fruity. Refreshing enoughacidity and tight tannins - really kickin' in from mid-palate on. Slight medicinal character, liquorice and graphite. A bit awkward finish.
  Not that balanced. Skip.

  March 5, 2012 - I love Brigaldara wines, especially the Case Vecie. But this one was off balance in my view. The cherries, tobacco and leather were all too over-powering. And at at 16.5 percent, this was more an aperitif than a wine.....whether for meditating or not. (But then again I had a cold when I drank this, and the Wife says it's lovely and I need to cheer up!)

  December 27, 2011 - Smooth and velvety - but not quite as good as the 2005. Still, perfect for meditation...

  September 11, 2011 - Decanted for a few hours before drinking. Got a sort of intense mounds bar nose of coconut and chocolate, followed by a very rich mouthfeel. I didn't notice the complexity or acidity that was mentioned in other TNs, and I missed both. The wine was delicious in its way, but I got bored with it quickly. The next day, the acidity was more prevalent, and that helped balance the richness more - but, still didn't have the tannins or acidity I think it needed to support everything else that was there.
