Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 15, 2018 - Bruno Giacosa Tribute Dinner (Casa Tartufo, Singapore): I enjoyed this tremendously. An obvious step or two down from the pair of truly great red label Collina Riondas one flight back, but it nevertheless did not seem out of place in such hallowed company. It had a lovely nose, much more floaty and feminine than the older wines, with bright red fruit, a bit of tar, some earthy aromas, and then a nice waft of florals alongside. The palate was still noticeably shaped by a nicely filigreed structure of fine tannins and bright acidity, this framing yummy flavours of cherries and haw flakes, a sprinkle of black pepper, and then some meat and earth and a bit of mint gliding into a long finish. There was still a slight tannic chew at the end, before the wine faded away with a lovely blush of spice and florals. Very enjoyable, and should continue to develop well a bit more over the next decade and beyond.
