Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 11, 2007 - Defective cork. Super dry at top, cracked almost in two half-way down and completely saturated below the cork. Didn't know how it would turn out, so decanted anyway for about 4 hours. Glad I got to it now...wasn't completely spoiled but my notes were nothing like those from others below. Tight and not very giving on the nose, not much of anything. Sour on the palate, without much fruit at all. Thought it might have been one of those 'classically styled' Brunellos, but other notes don't reflect that. I've got one more that I'm going to try soon, as if this is as good as other make it out to be for $30, it should be a good value Brunello. Also, btw, this was my first wine from "winestilsoldout", so I don't know the quality of the provenance...
