2006 Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro
Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 25, 2016 - Decanted for 2.5 hours at WlkerJFW's suggestion, and I concur with his review. Dark purple all the way through. The nose at the start of the decant was of dark fruit, brett, soil, and slight oak. The brett completely disappeared after the decant, however, and left nice dark fruit and leather. Its taste included dark fruit, leather, tar, and softening tannins (not quite dusty yet).
This was my first Galardi after waiting and purchasing through 10 years of Jon R's hype. For now, I'm pleased, as this is a good, but not yet great (let alone sublime) wine. It is full of well balanced, primary flavors right now, and goes perfectly with osso buco. Whether I ever experience Jon's level of ecstasy as a result of Galardi's wine, however, remains TBD. One can always hope.
