May 28, 2022 - Method: blind; Grassl 1855
Look: pale+ garnet-maroon
Nose: balsamic, celery, brown sugar, rhubarb, dried strawberry
Palate: dried cherry, sun dried tomato, brown sugar; medium+ finish or rhubarb, dried parsley; dry; medium- body; medium- tannin that are nicely resolved but do accumulate a bit; medium, sour acidity
Overall thoughts: Enjoyable, with nice complexity but getting old and pretty tired. The acidity came off as decently sour, which wasn't great. Still, it's an enjoyable, good wine. -

March 10, 2003 - I opened this wine with duck made by my wife. The 1975 Castiglion was simply glorious. The nose was earthy and pronounced with cherry and spice aromas. It showed no signs of fading. Notes of cherry, plum, indian spice, meat, kirsch and cassis were woven together in this wine. Sangiovese at its best. Extremely deep palate. This was a full bodied wine which showed dry tannins and then melted into a long caressing finish. It possessed the type of refinement which only develops in a mature wine. 93-94 points.
