Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 9, 2009 - Served at La Pergola. Not decanted - opened to air 30 minutes then served throughout the evening. Bright garnet with unique bubbles/froth with each pour. Lovely, captivating nose of red berries, baking and asian spices, herbs and hint of meat/game. Medium intesity bright layered fruit that is framed by acidity and firm, medium intensity tannins. The palate starts with immediate precision and finesse that exudes balance and has a texture that is really wonderful and I am guessing must speak to place to those that know this wine. Medium+ complexity and length. Aromas improved over the evening (and 'saved' the meal as the service was only so-so), but the palate remained unchanged. This has improvement ahead, but knocked my socks off now.
