Pizzini tasting
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 5:42 pm
Headed along to the one in adelaide last nite
Proceded to lose any notes i had scribbled, so some impressions (and cant remeber all the wines). All tasted in really nice big galsses which was cool
Tignanello (01?) - Thought this was pretty nice, hit of coffee beans but not in an obvious way, some nice cherry and a litlle greeness as well which balanced it alright. Hardly enough poured to tell what it tasted like
Cepparello (03?) - A bit of tobacco with some dark chocolate coming through. Again some reddish fruit, similar on palate. Thought it was the best Sangio wine
Brezza Nebbiolo d'Alba Santa Rosalia - Licorice candies (humbugs), aniseed and a little bit of raspberry. First nebbiolo i'd ever tried so it was a bit of a shock. Thought it was nice, but a bit short on the palate
Pizzini Coronamento 2002 - Seemed a bit more restrained than the previous in a nicer way. More obvious fruit, still some licorice, herbs and maybe some flowers but could be guessing. Pretty darn good
Brezza Barolo (01?) - First barolo ive had and it was mega interesting to a novice. Burnt clutch, cheese then tons of melting licorice and ashphelt. More raspberry, but still an overwheling aniseed smell. Im beginning to understand why peoiple like old world gear!. Furry tannins as well. My pick
Unfortunaley all a bit out of my budget, but it was a good eyeopener as to what nebbiolo is about. I will definaltely look it up more
Anyone else get along?, And please point me out if i got it wrong, im still learning!
Cheers, Greg
