Hi all!!!!!!!!! and thanks Bolton(for the nudge)....
Sorry for the slow report... We were gone for a few days, then T-ball playoffs... Yall know it is called life.....
Ok... WE had a BBQ on the 15th, about 20 people and 15 kids. Fun, food, song, and DRINK... Only a few true wine drinkers(8)... but we gave them a test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only info I gave them before were as follows:
1. Type Amarone
2. All 3 were manf. by Mosti
3. All 3 made at the same time and by the book
4. 3 different price ranges
With that said, I ask them to rank them in the order of their preference...
Everyone liked all 3 and could not belive that I made them!!!! Hereare the results:
4 people pick the Masters Edition number 1
3 people pick the Meglioli number 1
1 picked the All Juice number 1
Now my two cents....
They all had oak(but in different amounts), the all juice did not have raisins...
They were all very good and I'm Very happy with the outcome!!!!!!
I went with the chalk!!!! Meglioli 1, Masters Edition 2, and All Juice 3!!!!!
With that said, the Meg and the Masters are very close at this time, but with more age I thank the Meg will shine!!! All have good fruit... the Meg and Masters are a little fuller bodied... The Meg has a little more spice and stronger tannins... With another year This will be outstanding!!!!! The Masters is very good as welll and for the money you can't go wrong. With this test for me you have tohave raisins or grape pack... You can really tell the diffrence in the body and mouth feel!! I have already ordered an received the Meg 2010 and wish I had ordered 2!!!
I plan on making a trip up and see George and the gang... I will take a few bottles and let the experts give it a try and maybe they can add a comment about them!!!
Now I can't wait till I can try the Barolos!!!!
