Community Tasting Notes 5

  July 13, 2014 - Obvious notes of maturity here, some would probably say it's gone too far. A incredible nose, just spectacular. Truffle, damp wooden floor, rosehip, raisin, dried apricots, leather, a bit oxidised and a sherry-like feeling. So complex, I could sniff this all day.
  The palate comes across as a little more tired. Cherries, strawberries, rosehip, sherry and leather. After an hour in the glass it becomes sweeter and more towards the strawberries.
  This i an act of balance between being perfect and being over the hill, pretty much comes down to what you want from a wine for the moment. Needless to say you should expect some bottle variation. Left feeling fortunate to have tried some of the great Antonio Cerris work.

  July 28, 2013 - Cloudy brown in the glass and dead as doorknobs. Well ok, a brief moment spent pining for the fjords, one last caramel-scented sigh, and then toes up and totally expired.

  June 12, 2011 - A wonderful expression of place and time. Consumed with friends...so I'm likely to be scoring higher than normal. However, a wonderful bottle of wine
