An exceptional bottle. Dried mushrooms and fruits (cherry), sloe, rose hip, old leather, spearmint, sweet consummé, old wardrobe, star anise. Very beautiful in your mouth, a kindly appearance. Rounded tannins that has turned into a kind of oily viscosity. Fresh graceful acidity. Like a noble adult cordial. Delicious without any need of a rating in numbers.

Blueberry, cherry, licorice, leather and a warm kind of minerality. A dense special dolcetto. Slightly lower acidity. I think this will be even more interesting in the future.

With 2 years of bottle age this has gained some complexity.
