After an hour decant, and one more hour of breathing, showing beautiful dark fruit cinnamon and deep maple syrupy notes. Great balance for a wine showing this much rich fruit. There are plenty earthy notes to balance the wine as well. Rich lovely complex enjoyable wine. As usual Spinetta does not disappoint!

One of the best wines I have had in awhile. Followed a bottle of sassica which was good but no match. Thick fat blackberries and currants give way to an earthy darkness. So rich and thick. Amazing wine.

Finally the bottle was uncorked with prongs as the cork started dismantling Dark cloudy red brown Excellent quality and unique nose developed in the glass with tertiary notes, earthiness, waxed leather and typical fruitiness Excellent on the palate, by all parameters: acidity, harmony, tannins, structure, complexity, fruitiness. It had it all! Wish I'd have few more of this wine.

1 hour decant. Still solid but IMO in its decline. Drink up.

Took about half hour then really opened up. Thick blackberries and plums. Finishes with a bit finishes with a bit of tannin.
