85 Points

Sunday, January 20, 2013 - A medium ruby wine.
The nose is dominated by strawberries, but also have blackberries and bramble. At the moment it has a bit simple expression. It has yet to develop more than just fruit.
On the palate the fruit is not as dominant. There is a more vegetal and herbal expression. Their seem to be a slight underripeness. The acidity is balanced nicely by the body, which is not as heavy as often seen in Valpolicella. The tannins are a little green. The 13,5 abv is fine. Adds some body, but is neither warm nor disturbing.
The finish is also green and vegetal. It is not as long as I hoped and it also has a bitterness, that is what you are left with in the end.
I am not too fond of the wine at the moment, but I do believe it has some potential. However, it is still too young.
