Cherry and menthol on the nose. On the palate, cherry with notes of clove, menthol, leather, rose petal, and earthy spices that evolve through the medium to long finish, with light tannins and moderate acidity. This is elegant, and I might have been able to guess that it was Cannubi blind. The Cellartracker drinking window is definitely too short, as this isn't falling apart, and it needed a few minutes of air to open up. It's nicely balanced between secondary and tertiary notes right now; drink or hold depending on your preferences.

Beautifully mature bottle. Earthy, floral and almost two decades later, full of red fruit. Tannins are fully integrated, acid is medium plus, texture is velvety and rich. Finish is long. It truly exceeded my expectations.

Ramat-Aviv quartet - 27 years anniversary (about) (at Chanoch Reichenberg): dark red-brown classic quality Barolo fruity-earthy aroma, though still tight medium-full bodied, fine firm tannins, well balanced, excellent harmony, good structure, fine complexity, still tight and closed since the wine wasn't opened well before consuming. This is an excellent wine, that requires prior opening!
