next to 2020 Selvapiana Bucerchiale. Medium garnet color. earthy aromas. dried cherry and a little vitamin aroma. this is day 2 and the lift if extra-ordinary. Sat next to Bianca Contini Bonacossi last evening at dinner, and I felt like we could have been sitting at an afternoon baseball game, so pleasant to talk to. With just a little bit of time, the vitamin subsides...a touch coconut oil to the aroma?? w/ licorice. All in all, extremely harmonious aromas, loads of complexity.
palate shows the 12 yrs of maturity that the aromas do not. Medium minus tannin, medium plus acidity. Gonna have to start stuffing some of these wines away...
lots of time ahead of it, this is still way shy of mid-life. drink to 2045+

Rich with dark dark skin fruit on the nose, enticing and promising. We are very hard to put dot to give this 100 points. And maybe we should have! We cannot think of anything this one could have done better. A perfect pairing with ricotta spinach tortellini over a bed of sautéed fresh spinach and garlic, with a drizzle of Alfredo and pesto sauces. Divine! Dark chocolate for dessert with it, only carried us right over the edge!

Retailer tasting; just short notes.: Juicy red and dark berries, herbs and spices, beautiful acidity and bitterness and a good length. Ready now.
