Blackberry Farm Cheese and Wine tasting (The lovely East Tennessee mountains): Wine and cheese tasting in the cellar @ Blackberry Farm. Poured into glass 90 minutes before I tasted it. Was good but expected this to be WOTN based on producer, vintage and my love of Barolos and it just got it's butt whipped by the CDP before it. Maybe it didn't get enough air? Regardless, this was a decent pairing with Italian sheep's milk cheese. Brad - heavypourwine.com

Flight 1 with Canonical. I came in expecting more from this wine but against more showy barolos, this was in the backseat most of the time. More tamed than the Canonic. Floral, but drier and autumnal. But here you pick out the oak, and it does stand out. Doesn’t lose any of that cherry liquor flavour despite the obvious elegance, loads of sweet red fruits. Tannins are there but less the power. Ethereal and restrained. On any other day I’d probably liked this more..
Decanted for 60 min. To be honest a Big low a completely decent wine just like some cheap shit from Piemonte, if this is so superior to Antonio Galloni and others, I just don’t get it a very ordinary and not worth the hyped price, I’m very dissapointed, my only and last never going back.

TCA marred this one. I’ve had this vintage many times through its first 10y and it is always fresh and dense but this this was thin and dull and the cork taint never blew off.
