Appearance: Deep garnet color with a slight orange rim. Nose: Aromas of ripe red cherry, dried herbs, leather, and tar, with secondary aromas of licorice and tobacco. Palate: Full-bodied with high tannins and medium+ acidity. Flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and tobacco. The wine has a long, persistent finish with a good balance of acidity and tannins. Conclusion: The wine is drinking well now, but it has the potential to age for at least another 10-15 years.

After a few months of Coravin. An elegant perspective, cherry, Rose, tar. Really text book, but in an elegant and classic manner. Lots of rainwater on cement after the rain. Medium tannin. There’s a modest earthy dimension on the palate, and still more freshness and class take over. Really nice for basic 2015.

We took out a bottle upon cellaring- marvellous with potential. Filet de bouef, Jerusalem choke in 3 different styles, gruyere créme, gratain.. Opened the wine 3 hours ahead - surprised of the lightred colour, the first zip, very hard but a nice fruity taste... After three hours- strong curtains, lots of power, ruby red, taste of himbeer, but also vineberry, smooth even of powerful! This will be strong over the years- maybe acquire further bottles!

Quite light, earthy red fruit on the nose. Still a little tight after 90 minutes, a little astringent; red current, good body and acidity, and a killer finish. My bad that we drank this for Christmas this year, it really needs to age a little more, but still a really good wine. Might score better as it ages, I’m not experienced enough to tell. Served with oso bucco and enjoyed with family.

My first Borgogno and a nice surprise. Fairly open to begin with, and the wine then opened up quickly in the glass. Light, rather elegant and with roses and licorise.

Opened and poured with no time to decant. Surprisingly approachable given its youth, but another five years will do wonders for it!
