I am blown away by how good this is. I don’t remember this being so perfectly balanced the last time I had it. Color is garnet with a hint of lightening at the rim. The nose shows dark cherry, leather, spice, and earth. On the palate, spiced cherry and earth meets a nice frame of acidity, and still present tannin. The tannins are already nicely robed, though and not obtrusive. Really excellent, and food-friendly. Ready now, should keep another 5 years easily.

Color is garnet with browning at the rim. Nose shows leather, dried cherry, spice, and earth. The palate on day one still showed fairly intense cherry fruit with a tannic bite. On day two, this has mellowed to the tobacco/cherry realm, with very nice framing acidity and, still present and slightly gritty, tannins. This is a great example of punching above your weight. Can easily age another 5 years, and probably more.

This is a dark and intense Pinot from Alto Adige. Nose shows dark fruit and a bit of spice and stone. On the palate, this is both juicy and minerally, with a good bite of acidity at the finish. I will keep my last bottle for five years or so.
