Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 31, 2022 - Beautiful Sangiovese and neither tired nor past prime from good bottles. Was excited to try this as mature Flaccianello is hard to find and I have always found the vintages from the 2000s (2007, 2004) too brash and unrefined. Hence curious to see how Flaccianello can really age. Not the very best bottle with a top shoulder fill and a soaked cork which sits very tightly though. In the glass a fairly dark garnet with no browning and a thin transparent rim. Earthy notes and some wood spices, dried fruit, very clear and clean, well integrated acidity, no signs of oxidization. A moderate 13.5% alcohol as per label. Medium (-) tannins still providing structure. Medium (+) finish. Impressive Sangiovese at age 32. Drink now but no rush, while well stored bottles will not improve they should still drink well in 5 years time. 93-94
