Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 5, 2021 - From 75cl, DIAM30 closure (seems appropriate), decanted 1 hour. Now I understand why previous CT TNs are so short and uninformative (references to "perfume" and "aromatics" are cute, but might be more convincing were there a single indication of what exactly the taster claimed to have identified). Sure, this sort of smells like a dark red wine; the entry is surprisingly sweet; the mid-palate shows juniper berry, liquorice and clove action; rough grippy tannins on the finish finally make it abundantly clear that this is a big young Barolo with a hairy chest and overactive sweat glands. Drinkable now, but I think it's a crime to open this closed-down, burly wine now or in the next few years: its best days surely lie well ahead. 2025+(+)? 89-90P
