My first bottle of this having only had his Boca previously. At first slightly fizzy but that dissipated in about 30 minutes leaving a nice albeit simple north of the Po sipper. Dark fruit, cola, tea leaves. Good amount of iron. Rustic but not in a bad way. This should be drunk up soon.
More wild berry fruit on the second day, and gobs of minerals. This is actually pretty good.

Tastes like a savory Salmon Berry! If you're not from the PNW, a Salmon Berry has kind of a melony raspberry thing going. Add a big chunk of savory to that and voila! Smooth finish with earthy notes. Different but very nice. Paired well with grilled pork and clove (its sort of a SA thing) sausages.

Similar to the last bottle. Iron is prominent tonight. A bit past its prime. I have some 2017s of this that are probably in a better place currently.

Tried over successive nights on the nitrogen system. Never really rose above "ok". Powerful presence on the palate emphasizes tannins. Uncharming.

Dark garnet color with a little mud. Cherry and juicy grape flavors with stiff dusty tannins and lengthy finish. Needs food.
