Jenise wrote:Jim, great note, and you made me want to do some digging to see if your Cesanese is the same as the one I owned (sadly past tense, I only bought two bottles). And almost--yours is the same house but one year newer. Here's my note on the 04 which I took to an offline themed "Weird Italian Night":
2004 Campagnia de Ermes Cesanese do Olevano Romano – My wine, and one of those irresistable oddballs that the boys at Garagiste come up with from time to time. This one went into decanter on arrival at the restaurant because of it's youth, and I think we were all quite amazed that it was this young once we tasted it. It showed like a 99 Cornas, with violets and spice and all that white pepper on a cherry frame. Not just different and very, very rare (only 50-70 cases of this wine get made), but lovely and very worth drinking in it's own right.
I don't remember being offered the 05, but this is one I'd jump all over a chance to repurchase.
