Terrific bottle. Starts out restrained, with strawberry fruit and flowers, but after an hour, becomes full-throated: big, concentrated cherry and pomegranate fruit, supple texture, and as the bottle proceeds, an increasing sense of a wine with more flavor than it can quite contain in its middle-weight frame. Heady aromas all the way through. This is delicious to drink now but there’s no rush.

Drank over two days. Upon opening the nose was absolutely mesmerizing. The palate was quite tight but it opened up over the course of the evening, finding an incredible focus and precision. An incredibly vibrant, transparent, energetic wine.
On day two a bit of the energy and focus was lost (perhaps due to the relatively young age of the vines?), and the wine felt less compelling. Overall, I was very impressed and I’m looking forward to trying more from this producer.

Lots of florals, crunchy red and purple fruits, potting soil. Shockingly delicious right now despite being very young still. I think this should age for another 10 years without issue.

Powerfully floral nose of rose petals, potpourri, cranberry, baking spices. Bright and lively on the palate with a lovely purity of Luxardo cherry, raspberry, and plum fruit notes with some underlying organic earth minerality that lingers on a long finish. The wine’s supple tannins and fresh acidity provide ample structure to the wine. It’s a fun wine to drink now with a bit of air, but no harm in giving it a few years in the cellar.
