Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, October 5, 2018 - Lunch with Lorenzo at Osteria Veglio (La Morra, Piemonte): Popped and poured. Cherry red colour with amber highlights. A beautiful bouquet of bright red cherries, raspberries and red plums, a compote of red berries. Also, a touch dried herbs and nascent rose florals. On palate, slowing opening in the glass. Ripe and rich but elegant and very well balanced. Morello cherries and other red fruit with some herbs and some austere minerality. It paired beautifully with my goat dish. Sweet seeming tannins. Racy acidity and great precision. Mid weight at most and still tightly coiled. Very long. A brilliant wine. Delicious now but it'll need 5-10+ more years before it's at anything like its best, I would think.
