Theres all the classic valentini notes here. coffee bean, and a touch of rotten egg reduction. The extract is buillt really well. Full, waxy, and with a good amount of tannin to age. But theres some VA here, which threatens sabotaging the ageing process of a wine like this, which is otherwise very fine. Not for drinking now of course, but could be good in 10+ years

Still young so take my assessment with a pinch of salt. Warm fruit , quite american, not showing any of the high toned frangipane/ acetone volatlity that gave the vintages between 2000-2010 so much character. Just tastes like a random kistler now. Ok but nothing to write home about
