Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 27, 2007 - Dark purple in the glass, yet see-through. Nose is still quite closed down, mainly dominated by pungent roasted coffee beans and some creosote. Second day there is some more on the nose: dark plum, almost overripe (black plum), blackberry and caliche. It's quite clear that it will become more open and interesting after a few years. Mouthfeel is dense, packed with coffee, leather, plum and after some time even violets. Quite foursquare and chunky, long streak of sours is not completely in balance with tightly wrapped up aromatic core. Long, elegant finish with violets and blackberry. Very nice, not too modernist Brunello that still needs at least 5-7 years too smoothen out and become the aristocratic wine it can be.
