  20 minutes in the decanter and it definitely needed more time. Really intriguing nose of sweet cranberry and other red fruits. This is a big wine! Intense tannins that coat your teeth, which I really like. Rose, cherry, spice and minerals. Good mouthfeel and long finish. If I had another bottle I would wait 3 or 4 years to open it or give it a very long decant. Probably just getting close to its prime drinking window.

  Lovely nose of ripenomg dark berries. Elegant and loght albeit quite expressive. Some slight sweet spice, mont, vanilla and pepper. Medium body, fruits. Not much secondary, classic, barolo notes, but delicate wine.

  Definately better on day 2. Pure and fresh, but just entered it’s drinking window. Will retaste over the next years.

  Really impressed with this wine. Earthy black cherries and anise, loamy earth bordering on tar before the finish brings tar, tobacco, and leather with undertones of black tea and anise for good measure. Tannins are getting close to integration, the astringency is more bittersweet chocolate than wood, and I would say about 60 / 40 with the acid right now. Alcohol (14%) and oak are both in line. Style & Quality: A- (92). Will hopefully continue to develop more complexity for that higher rating, definitely has the potential. At $61 / bottle (JJB), I very much hope that it does; Value: B (86). Overall Evaluation: A- (90).
