  Always a treat, although a bit less expressive than the last bottle - possibly due to pairing with pasta instead of meat. Ripe cherries, leather, tobacco, chocolate, spicebread, with a phenolic ending.

  Another hedonist moment around this wonderful wine from Valtellina. Perfect maturity. Exotic, elegant nose, mature cherry, fine leather and butterscotch. Medium to full bodied, with a complex palate, combining elegant tobacco, leather, chocolate, nuts and spice bread with subtle phenolic notes, ink and licorice and abundant umami. A treat.

  Dried red fruit, cranberry, cherry with pronounced earthy flavours such as old leather and dried leaves. Lingering tannins with a long balsamic aftertaste. Well balanced and well alive. No sign of declining. Very enjoyable

  This special cuvée from the tiny Italian region of Valtellina never disappoints. Now at perfect maturity. Exotic, elegant nose, built on mature cherry notes, fine leather and butterscotch. Medium to full bodied, with a complex palate, combining elegant tobacco, leather, chocolate, nuts and spicebread with subtle phenolic notes, ink and licorice and abundant umami.

  Sätter inget betyg eftersom den oxiderar ganska snart efter öppning. Påtaglig alkoholhetta, russinsmaken är kvar. Den beter sig inte helt olikt en oxiderad sherry, en Oloroso.... Vinet är drickbart med nära slutet av sin levnad. Jag föredrar en yngre Valtellina där druvorna sluppit att torka alla dagar i veckan...
