Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 19, 2021 - Over two and a half years since my last sample, the 2015 Vangone is now in quite the agreeable state at this stage in the game. A downshift from its original roaring intensity has made way for a more rolling wave of ripe and rounded plum and berry notes. Finishes lush and dark, with earthy plum and spice flavors reverberating on the back end.

This bottle was a bit more advanced and ripe than I would have expected given my recollection of this wine back in 2019. It’s a gob of juicy goodness without question, so don’t feel too sorry for this purring puma. It’s just rolling over and showing more belly now than fangs. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss some of the wild intensity here, but most fans of this wine won’t be disappointed when they take a load off on the ol’ grandpa chair, fire up a stogie, and glug down a healthy pour of trusty Vangone.

Best shared with your golf friends who wear funny hats and use phrases like “Cherrio!” and “My liege.”
