A bit young. First pass with Coravin and 30- minute breathing in a an appropriate glass: proper, young and not likely to wow.Tannins override the black cherry and soil notes. Not yet an expressive nose. Hold a bit but not for the discerning crowd.
3/20. Subsequent tasting. A nicer balance, some dry Smokey leaves, but overall not hitting the mark as well as it should

Medium body, well balanced, distinct fruit, present non-aggressive tannins. Cherry, herps, vanilla. Benefits from one hour air. Enjoy now and next five years.

Similar to previous notes. I had the '10 Valdicava a couple of days previously which was a significant step up, but far more pricey too.

Decanted one hour. Drinking beautifully. Long finish. Cork in great shape.
