BORGOGNA 2011 (IL GIARDINO - ZAGAROLO): Naso indecifrabile, alla cieca non sembrerebbe neanche un Pinot Noir. Lattico, primario, tutto ancora sul fruttone maturo. Bocca contratta, acida, compressa, tannino e materia ancora da dipanare. Ennesima dimostrazione che i vini di Laurent hanno bisogno di tanti anni per esprimere la loro classe. Un vero spreco oggi anche in un' annata che sulla carta dovrebbe essere generosa.

SLDS December 2015: Stalk, cherry, floral, earth, raspberry and ash on an already complex nose. Beautiful palate balance with great acid drive over the bright red fruits. Has good depth to it already. Liked this more with additional time in the glass, and it should develop really nicely.

Drank over three days, on the first and third days only. Stunning bouquet from the outset (PnP), that shows intense floral aromatics, red berry puree (cranberry & raspberry), evergreen forest (Fir and Spruce), pine tar, walk-in humidor, sage, juniper, damp deciduous forest floor, burnt green wood, and metallic ores. Rich, ripe, and utterly inviting palate that tastes like the bouquet smells. Concentrated and balanced acids, light tannins, delightful rounded, mouthwatering. The wine changes inflection like nobody's business, revealing compounded layers at every turn. Seductive mouthfeel, stalwart, elegant, and very long finish. An incredibly special wine! 95-96!
