Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 1, 2009 - Popped and poured. Drank over 6 hours. Boy did this need the whole 6 hours to open - it is still amazingly young. Initially the structure totally overwhelmed the wine. By the end of the night, a deep and still a touch reticent nose of tar, menthol, alcohol and dark fruits. Very tannic still in the mouth, with a long finish. I wonder if the structure ever softens completely? Amazing how even in 'off' vintages traditionally made piedmont wines can last forever. I'm going to wait another few years on the rest of the bottles to see if the wine mellows a bit. If it does, the score will prove to be quite conservative.
