Flight #1 of our 1997 Retrospective. Presented single-blind; no formal notes. On the nose, this shared similar characteristics to wine #3. The most striking of which was a powerful note of finely ground cumin on the nose. Fruit is mostly desiccated at this point; the structure keeping everything together, but just. I called this to be “Rubicon”. While clearly in the sunset of its life, this showed slightly less energy than the Dalla Valle but no less charm. Drink now.

️ Toscana IGT Rosso (Tuscany, Italy)
✔️ 오르넬라이아의 철학을 반영한 레드 블렌딩 (메를로•까베르네쇼비뇽•산지오베제)
✔️ 오픈하자마자 젖은 흙•페퍼•오크•바닐라 향과 체리•블랙베리•플럼 향이 복합적인 레이어를 만듦
✔️ 오픈하고 1시간 뒤에 산미 섞인 향이 팡팡 터지기 때문에, 최소 30분~1시간 전에 미리 오픈하는걸 추천
✔️ 시간이 지날수록 정향•삼나무•버섯 향 섞인 미네랄리티가 잘 느껴지고, 질감도 더 부드러워짐
✔️ 적당한 산미, 약하지 않은 피니쉬, 시간이 지날수록 부드러워지는 질감까지! 가격 대비 넘 맘에 들었음
✔️ 산미 덕분에 이탈리아 음식과 페어링 하면 좋을 듯함
✔️ 3만원대 가격에 쟁여놓기 좋은 맛있는 와인

👉🏻 트리플C나 시데랄보다 가벼운 바디감과 미네랄리티를 느끼고 싶을 때 생각날, 이탈리아의 매력을 듬뿍 담은 데일리 와인 — 4 months ago

1.5 hour decant(decent chunky sediment). A majestic deep purplish magenta color with a little bricking. Always have a soft spot for aged Cain Five and Chris's old school savory style(embrace a little brett!). On the nose: stunning nose of worn leather, funky wet earth, red fruit, touch of menthol, nutty. Taste: Restrained, silky, elegant, balanced wine with dusty earth, herbaceous, currants, plum, cedarwood, and peppery dark chocolate medium finish. YUM! Hitting its stride with time to go. — 7 months ago

2005 vintage. Decanted with some sed and tasted over the course of two hours. Nice nose. Chunky finish that found a bit of finesse as time went on. Solid but unspectacular. 3.3.24. — 2 months ago

Too often this,wine is drunk at release. Just a little patience goes a long way. At 7 years the primary black and red fruit is still there with dried plums showing up along with cedar cocoa tar anise. Tannins still there so can go along a bit longer bit why wait — 3 months ago

Textbook #loirevalley #cabernetfranc, this one from #touraine ; It was late in the evening after happy hour so notes are a bit more approximate than usual. 😜 Pyrazines active, green pepper notes, shy black/purple fruit, soft tannins and a vegetal earthiness on the palate. It could have been served cooler by the bar but nice night cap nonetheless. — 2 months ago

I had this in the past and couldn’t remember much about it. Now on NYE, it’s what we paired with our chicken dinner and it is delicious. First taste feels flat but then you feel it bounce on your tongue with hints of pepper — 4 months ago
