Community Tasting Note

Brady D Likes this wine:

Friday, September 3, 2021 - Outstanding bottle. Unlike the youthful '99 Ovello a few weeks ago, this one looks it’s age. Very light red with significant bricking. First smell was concerning, I thought it was a bit oxidized. But after sitting for a few minutes it really opened up. Tons of different earthy / fungus notes around a licorice and tar core. Not much overt fruit left, but enough to keep the wine fresh and delicious, rather than just interesting. I enjoyed this bottle as much as any of the highly reputed traditional makers. I’m not always convinced by PdB, but this puts me back in the believer camp. A+
