Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 7, 2015 - Tasted blind. Bright, translucent ruby with a transparent rim. The nose gives off red fruits, smoked earth and some hints of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture; slightly dry but there's good fruit in the background. Flavors of cherry, cranberry, raspberry compote and lightly toasted oak. Finishes long with dusty tannins. Quite easy to drink now until 2021. I was very pleasantly surprised with this wine. It ranked last out of five, but it held its ground amongst formidable contenders: 2008 Casanova di Neri BdM (93+); 2004 Solaia (96); 2008 Allegrini Valpolicella (92); and a 2010 Palacios Remondo Propiedad (92+).
