Community Tasting Note

Harrie Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 13, 2024 - Starting the dinner evening with a 2012, which is probably near the top. Do decant, as pleasure kicks in after two to three hours. Tuscan earthly cherries, somewhat restraint, but impeccable. A great wine in a great spot. Alcohol at 15% is there, but does not intrude. A real delight at 94 point cruising speed. (From magnum).

Add - later in the evening - a 2010 bottle to the discussion. Same storyline, but so much more body. 96 ? 97 ? So much body just leaping from the bottle in the first ten minutes, and continuing to run. 2012 is where it will end at 94 or so, with three plus years at this level.
2010 still is barely settling into maturity. Drink or keep, realize what treasure you hold. What an amazing wine.
