Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 30, 2016 - I agree with the over extracted comments. Candied sour cherry and balsamic on the nose and palate. Spicy in the mouth and lacking freshness. Tannins and acid worked well with a grilled porterhouse.
Something is amiss here. I've had the white label from this vintage and while modern in style it was nowhere near as extracted. In addition I see that Cathy Corison called the '08 Tenuta Nuova "beautiful" on the Delectable app and based off of the types of wines she makes, I could not see her calling the wine that I drank beautiful. Is there some strange bottle variation going on?
