Community Tasting Note
Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 - Absolutely loved this. Tasted double-blind, I was in Northern Italy right off the bat given all of the sweet fruit, plentiful spices and floral notes and of course a deep, enchanting canvas of earth notes on which everything was artfully displayed. On the palate, more of the same, with this brilliant balance of sweet red fruit (which for me was more Sangio in nature than Cabernet) and soil notes that just screamed purity, class. The color had me thinking mid-90s if that's any indication of how this is holding up. Tannins still holding on fine, as are the lovely, cool acids; both will likely outlive the fruit, so best to drink sometime soon if you're holding some. Treasured moments tasting this wine, treasured moments. highly recommended
PnP, cork came out whole, but looked fully soaked.
