Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 22, 2023 - Nose: tar, hoisin sauce, prune, cherry, dark chocolate
Notes: Drank together with a Bruno Giacosa Asili Di Barbaresco 2001. Had the first glass after 45 minutes and the wine started off with the relatively stiff aroma of tar and hoisin sauce. A bit of dark fruit started to appear as time went by. Tannins are quite soft for this wine so definitely cellaring further will not bring much benefit to the wine's development anymore. I believe this upcoming 5-8 years will be the final drinking timeframe for this wine. Bruno Giacosa being one of my favorite makers from the region without a doubt makes wonderfully elegant wines , both the wines tonight were estate bottled and the 2001 seems like a fresher, fruitier and long lasting version of the 1997 but fundamentally they are quite similar in nature.
