Back home and trying something new with homemade chili. This was #74 on Spectator Top 100 of 2015. I think I picked it up for $10-12 on LB. mixed expectations and gave it a go PNP. A very green nose, even in the second hour open. Light in body with dark cherry, savory herb and dry, gripping tannins on the finish. It is different and pleasant to drink but won’t be in my top 100! 😂. Maybe some more time in the bottle will round it out. Have a few more to sit on. — 7 years ago

Green noses or palates are deal breakers IMO.

@Eric Shanks I completely agree. I’ve learned over the years I’m a new world kinda guy but I keep trying. Two trips to Italy last year inspired me to load up on a few more Italian wines, many of which I’ve enjoyed. Momma had half a glass and said ‘I don’t need another’. At least she finished it! 😂
