Community Tasting Note

Bam_Man Likes this wine:

Friday, August 17, 2018 - Brought with us to Vintage on Fifth, Crystal River ($20 corkage). As usual, we had a couple of Proseccos while giving this some time in the decanter. Took well over an hour before it began to show its best, and then continued to improve until it was gone. Not quite as expressive on the nose as previous bottles, but absolutely spectacular on the palate. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture. Offers a mouthwatering combination of pure, delicious plum, blackberry and dark currant fruit, with a moderate acidity. This has smoothed out tremendously over the past few years. The tannins are now so silky and refined. The polished finish features a prominent note of black licorice and goes on for almost a minute. Harmonious, complex and delicious. This is by far the best vintage of Oreno I have ever tasted and it seems to be getting better and better with age.
50+5+12+19+9=95
