2007 Produttori Pora
Not at all mad to have opened this bottle now. From the beginning it shows sweet fruit with lovely nebbiolo perfume and a fine texture. Great elements. Tannins emerge with air, but the sweet fruit remains. If I am picking nits, that sweet fruit might be a bit too much in the sweet jammy raisin-ey spectrum for my ideal tastes. But only just a smidge. I have to really concentrate to raise that critique. And in the end, it's a lot easier to just sit back and enjoy the fruit accompanied by so much lovely fragrant perfume and a very clear detailed tannin structure as well. Why complain.
2007 Produttori Rio Sordo
Much less seduction here. There is ripe rippling 2007 fruit, but in a stern detailed fine-pointed way. I enjoyed the bottle because I've never been one to hide from elegance and structure. But it was a very different interpretation. As it should be!
