March 7, 2021 - Bolognese, Brovias, and more (My place, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is drop, dead gorgeous as it fills the glass with perfumed tones of red cherries, strawberries, savory herbs, licorice, raspberries, violets, crushed rocks, earth tones, leather, and a touch of ash.
Taste: The feel is Full bodied with tart, high acidity and silky, high tannins. The structure is fairly resolved right now and has given way to a gorgeous and deep feel with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, violets, crushed rocks, savory herbs m, tobacco, and leather tones.
Overall: This is gorgeous and really opened up in the glass. There is a refined and elegant nature to this that is immensely attractive while still having a bit of weight behind it.1 person found this helpful 1,151 views

Interesting that the Villero showed best, even though most people's preference and expectations are either for Rocche or Brea. How did you prepare the bottles? Were they all emptied in one evening or could you taste them the day after?

These were all double decanted for sediment and given time in the bottle for about 6+ hours each. They were all a bit dusty on pop and pour, but there was fruit there on all of them for me to feel like they would wake up with extended soft air.
