Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 - Moderate depth of color, red to bricking rim of moderate extraction. On the nose savory elements dominate with predominantly red fruits... loads of clay, dried herbs, slight must/minerality... minimal new oak effect. On the palate high acidity, tightish midpalate, some coarseness on the finish with medium + amount of slightly coarse, not entirely ripe tannins... moderate ETOH. Fruit intensity and oak use well balanced though the wine is a bit on the firm side with tannins/acidity exceeding Etoh/fruit ripeness... average length, good intensity and complexity. Good finesse, firmish texture, expressive of place. Wine is firmly in the traditional camp of Brunello and offers good quality... very good QPR. At or near its peak where it will comforably hang out for a few years.
