This wine was in a wonderful place right now! Decanted it at 5PM, put back in the bottle at 6PM, for a 7:30PM dinner. This was far lighter in body compared the Dal Forno's we were comparing this night. However, the aromas of cherries, forest floor, and grilled meat, followed by flavors of cherries, and rare steaks had all the dinner participants wanting more. While not voted #1 by my fellow diners, this wine held it's own against the brawnier Dal Forno's, and was apreciated by all. Went great with the ragu pasta with wild boar sausage at Olio y Limone in SB at our annual Dal Forno's VS Quintarelli's wine dinner.

On pourrait lui reprocher ses 15° mais finalement ça passe bien. Pureté d’arômes, texture velours, c’est tout de même vraiment bien réalisé. Le nez est très italien, cerise confite, épices, léger balsamique, sous-bois, fraise confiturée, à peine floral. Entêtant et envoûtant ! La bouche solaire reste malgré l’alcool appètente et digeste, bravo!

Cork. 15% alc/v. Decanted 4 hours. Ripe cherry and plum, tobacco, dried herbs, dark chocolate. Medium to full in the mouth. Ripe and flavoursome, but not heavy or hot. Extended finish with fine tannins and a smoky tail.

October is the new Parisian June (Frenchie Bar à Vins , Paris): An Italian on a Parisian warm evening ( October is the new June here in Paris), decanted and served. Frankly it was too warm (who would have thought) for this wine but still show through like always. Just maybe the end result was not the rating it deserved vs our palate but still as always an exceptional wine. Felt like a 92 and 92 it is.
