Cloudy maroon; nose is beautiful with red and darker flowers, some bramble and pine so characteristic of Veneto, raspberry galore, spicy currant, licorice, medicinal cherry, youthful powerful and reminiscent of young Quintarelli Valpolicella; palate is powerful, piercing with fresh acid and glycerin, briar, medicinal, warming, long finish; really well made- clean, like the red fruit and look forward to follow its evolution over many years to come.

Medium red color. Aromas of cherries, raisins and tobacco leaf. Ripe but currently somewhat restrained fruit in the mouth with good depth and length and well-integrated tannins. This well-made wine should flesh out with another year or two of bottle age.

While more integrated and evolved than the 2/14/15 bottle, I found this wine to be more winey, high strung and showing more volatile acidity.

Beautiful color. Muted nose, but solid raisin on a medium finish. Enjoyed it.
