Vintage 2011 | Love this wine | rich, cedar, chocolate, spicyness and a taste that still has tannins but is also very comforting | paired with tenderloin | at Jammo Já

Jul 26th, 2023Vintage 2011 | I love Sagrantino that plays hard to get | This wine has a gloomy brown colour. A smell if you stand in a leather bags shop, and a earthiness that is comparable with aged Saint Estephe. Stubborn. Though smooth taste on next day, many layers. My type of wine, utterly lovely. Organic wine par excellence! | Paired with T bone steak and ratatouille.

Tanin and smooth, hard to say in the same sentance.. but it works. Dark in color, dark berries, chocolate notes on the nose.
Chewy, long aftertaste.
Went excellent with the grilled meats

My first Sagrantino! Well I experienced as it is being described. Dusty, dungeon earthy nose; intriguing. Dark red juicy fruit, tart, coarse tannins. No finesse, not really any layering or complexity. Just a hard hitting, juicy, tart wine. We had some aged white cheddar (Cougar Gold!) that was able to stand up to it and took the tartness down a few notches so the juice underneath became a little more exposed. Really didn’t get much better after a few hours in the decanter. It reminded me of a tart, red juicy Tannat. Final conclusion. Not for me. Afgekeurt! Couldn’t really understand how Decanter rated it with a 97 🤔. We are going to Umbria and the Montefalco region next month. I’ll give it another try at the birthplace of Sagrantino.

I can see why someone may like it but not my thing.
