Community Tasting Notes (2)

  • A more generous and rewarding experience than the last bottle. Although slightly past peak, this had much to offer and on this night was nearly as good as the 1995. Darker in hue and intensity. Although the fruit has begun to dry out and the structure is fading into the background, the overall texture was quite velvety and inviting. We found ourselves returning to this again and again. I look forward to my final two bottles over the next two years. Rated 3 on a scale of -1 to 3.

  • Refined black cherries and blue fruits on the nose, with hints of vanilla, fall leaves, and cocoa powder. In the mouth, this is clearly past its peak. Although some fruit remains, it's mostly dropped out; the palate is dominated by subtle vanilla and oak flavors, and by a bitter chocolate note. Thin on the middle palate and short on the finish. Stylistically this is 100% La Torre Brunello, but it doesn't measure up to the 1995 or the 1990. Drink now. Rated 1 on a scale of -1 to 3.
