Tuesday, March 28, 2023 - Milan Wine Event 2 - AKA F It Dinner (Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala (Ristorante Trussardi by Giancarlo Perbellini), Milan): ** Our advice is open this on its own in isolation**
Opened and left to rest for a good hour and we chose not to decant ( correctly) . The wine is elegant to the point of fragility so one needs to be careful with it not to disturb the fine sediment.
The memory we will always have from this wine is one of " what more could we have asked from a wine?" And frankly we would have rated it 100 if it wasn't for the fragile feel of it. Exceptional and magnificent, a ballerina of a wine, effortlessly elegant. Soft spice, light leather and earthy feel. Frankly the notes are irrelevant the Wine is an experience and lets just say this. It drinks perfectly now and it will last for sure but really now its just perfect. Pointless to rick unless one has a few bottles. Luckily we do. 98 PUNTO.
