Barbaresco Sori Capelli 2001

Presented to me double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core and a orangish rim; medium+ viscosity with amber staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated cherry, dried red flowers, mushroom, leather and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is high. This is a wine showing signs of age but there’s enough evidence to lead me to where this should be from.

Initial conclusions: this could be Grenache, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo or Sangiovese from Spain, France or Italy. For me, there’s too much expensive, small format oak for me to be in Piemonte. This could be Brunello…or Chateauneuf du Pape but for the similar reasons, I didn’t like that call even though there are certainly more producers in those areas making wine like this. I then vacillated between Chateauneuf and Priorat with 20+ years of age. Final conclusion: Grenache from Spain, Priorat, 2005. Oooof…I need to remember that people made/make wine’s like this in Piemonte. The signs were there, even though the oak use and extraction were super modern. This is why we practice! Drink now.

I bought this from barrel tasting at Nickel & Nickel’s luncheon futures, Entrecote En Baguette. Tasted 20 Cabernets and this and the Sori Brico were the two Sofia and I purchased.

Dark currants, medium plus tannins, anise to black licorice, dry leather & tobacco, dry herbs and thick, dark florals that are framed in violets and lavender.

Sori dij But Dogliani Dolcetto

Nose - soil, wet stone and petrichor/rainy day. Main flavors - delicate stone fruit like plum, cherry and an after taste of fruit pits. Mouthfeel - silky upfront and the a little bit of acid and zing on the back. Really approachable wine. Don’t sleep on dolcetto! Lovely wine. — a year ago
