  Very thick, heavy cherry aroma, but not too much depth of elegance on the nose. Very rich and large on the palate, with intense structure still dominant. The acid on the palate is very vibrant and rips in a beautiful way and balances some of the intensity of the tannins, which are also present. Really beautiful integration of the structural elements, and there is still some fruit poking through as well. The best part of the palate is the acidity, though. This spicy acidity carries into the tart finish, but there's also quite a bit of alcohol that was noted on all sips throughout the night that got in the way of the enjoyment for me. A fine wine, but not to the heights this can be in the best vintages. Just felt a bit two left footed for the producer.

  짙은 가넷색상
  체리, 수돗물, 치약, 라즈베리, 블루베리, 허브, 오렌지필, 꽃향기가 화려.
  좋은 산미에 부드럽지만 켜켜이 쌓이는 타닌, 미디엄투 풀바디
  단단한 구조감, 인상적인 복합미
  팔렛에서도 미네랄리티와 과실이 적절하게 어우러진다.
  기다란 피니쉬는 아주 우아하기까지.
  다른 레벨의 바롤로.

  Give it a nice 3 hour decant. Nice bottle. Smooth silky balanced.

  Might be one of those you open cork and leave overnight. Nice essence but tannic roughness on the finish. Hold or give a proper decant before consuming.
