2001 Feudi di San Gregorio Serpico

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Wednesday, April 2, 2008

This is a massive, dark, inky wine. Delicious aromas of dark, dripping fruits, dark chocolate and something like tar. Then tons of tannins. My mouth has fur all over. Huge finish, but mostly hidden fruit. There's glimpses of boysenberry, and dirty forest. It is way too young, but very powerful and ageable. It should all come together with at least 5 years in an proper wine cellar. The potential is there. If you are going to open this now, decant at least 2 hours in advance. We drank with a pizza. Retail $75.

Hey Mike, what's the longest you've ever decanted a wine?

So it's not a taste per se, but a smell JS12. Next time you pave your driveway, take a bottle of this with you :).

Not exactly. It was something in the aroma, like freshly poured blacktop on a hot day. It was not a fault- it added some nice complexity.

Mike -What does "tar" taste like? Does that mean "heat"?
