Community Tasting Note

Eric Guido Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 9, 2020 - The nose was hauntingly dark and intense, opening with a mix of cedar dust with dried roses, black cherries, and menthol, yet seemed to unfold in the glass, as its fruit evolved toward black raspberry, gaining richness and depth. On the palate, I found silky, almost creamy textures, offset by zesty acids and spice as a mix of black cherry, saline-minerals and youthfully grippy tannin collected on the senses, showing incredibly young and full of life. The finish was long and structured, promising many years of further evaluation, as dried cherries, dark spices and minerals lingered on and on.

I must admit, that the '97 Corino Vigna Giachini really surprised me, as it's one of the most balanced and well-maturing '97s that I've had in a long time.
