Friday, June 30, 2023 - An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Double Blind] This pours light ruby in the glass. No bricking. Initially there is notable gym sock reduction, but that dissipated with air and was gone by the time I re-tasted the following day. Otherwise the nose is light, red fruited and airy, much like the appearance in the glass, showing mixed florals, red cherry, new leather, bay leaf, and chalky dry soil. The palate is again light and bright showing significant red cherry and cranberry on entry. Tannin is medium and acid is medium plus confirming my suspicion that this is Italian and likely Sangiovese. While there is structure on the mid-palate, the finish replays the elegance coming across as light and airy. Elements of this wine reminded me of some producers Rosso di Montalcino or even perhaps how Fuligni's Brunello Normale can show with the bright red fruit and lower level of extract. On reveal I was pleased to see this old friend aging nicely and slowly. I have one bottle in the cellar I wont touch for a decade. Not that this is showing too young, but it's also not at all mature.
