Gambero Rosso Tre bicchieri l 🇮🇹 trade tasting: 2 years in barre, 18 months oak — 2 months ago
Popped and poured a small glass for myself to check on how it was showing. I thought it was super grumpy and backward, so I splash decanted; made a world of difference. The 2021 Riserva pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe, red fruits: raspberries, rose water, pastilles and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Charming stuff after air. Drink now through 2036…if you can keep your hands off it. — 4 months ago

Excellent wine.
Would have never guessed it was 25 years old.
After some time in decanter and in the glass - it began to show some tertiary and real balsamic notes
But this wine really paired well with risotto. It cut the richness without overpowering and provided some solid fruit and tannin
There is both some power and elegance in this wine that works quite well — 2 months ago

Nose: Dark fruit aromas lead the way with notes of black cherry, ripe plum, licorice, and subtle spice.
Palate: Big and bold with vibrant acidity and firm tannic structure. Layers of cherry and dark fruit carry through a long, persistent finish. Very well rounded with impressive depth and balance.
Overall: Structured yet approachable. Shows strong aging potential and should evolve nicely over the coming years. — 9 days ago
