Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

This 2018 is too young right now and possibly a tad overextracted. The nose, even after an hour of air, still displays some astringent notes overlaying the cherry fruit and crushed stone. In the mouth, it’s very tight and tannic, with nice fruit and crushed rock, again, playing second fiddle. Give this at least until the end of 2023 and hope the astringency fades (which, given the discernible fruit, it might). 8.6 now. Hopefully higher later.

NIGHT 3 UPDATE: Much smoother. Fruit coming out. Less astringent (but still a little astringent). Conclusion: Age this for a few years or give massive air. Upping to 8.8.

Пионы, гладиолусы, садовые цветы. Немного сливочной карамели. Совсем не пряно, скорее сладковато-ванильно. Вкус продолжает темы аромата, но вот тут уже проявляетс и корица. В целом очень симпатично. 16/20 (89/100)
