Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 11, 2009 - One of the most interesting and unique wines I have ever tasted. How, at this age, it can still be almost too young to drink is amazing. I decanted it for an hour, and it still kept changing over the next 90 minutes as we drank it, getting darker and more Italian over time. It was a completely different wine when we finished it -- less fruity, more acidic and more earthy. Was it worth $80? Not if you're looking for something that you feel comfortable with. Because it doesn't in any way resemble a Super Tuscan (or a Bordeaux for that matter). But if you want to try something that doesn't taste like what you expect, that is old-fashioned Italian winemaking, then take the chance. And it does need food -- top-quality sausages and best hard cheese you can find and real European-style bread.
