  Basically same notes as 7 months ago. 90 minute decant. Tons of overripe, almost jammy, black and blue fruits that dominate. Some dried herbs, sweet Oak. A smooth wine but still some grit to the tannins. Fine sediment coats the shoulders of the bottle with minimal utra fine sediment in the last glass. Short finish takes it down a point.

  Plenty of overripe black and blue fruits. Still going strong and in need of 60 minutes of decanting. Some sage and Oak. Very smooth. Full mouthfeel. Finish is not particularly long and is relatively short by Arietta standards.

  Tremendous effort. Fruit well integrated with enough structure to carry it another several years. A simple WOW would have been enough. Every sip enjoyable.

  Decant or let breathe for an hour. And enjoy!

  A fruit bomb with a bit more. Very smooth. Overripe and nearly jammy blue and black fruits but thick pliable tannins, with a little spice, Oak and black currant.
