  Medium bright red; lightly spiced, some licorice; light elegant attack, followed by a medium refined body, aftertaste is long and spiced, quite some acidity throughout which however is not disturbing rather pleasant, being held up with nice fruit; quite some tannins; really nice, like it

  It needs at least 2 hours of aeration. Muscular tanins, crisp acidity, really fresh with at least 10 years of life ahead. Menthol is obvious but unfortunately this is not the case for the fruits also. A slight touch of plum and red berries, not enough to be satisfied. Medium to long finish. All in all, good enough for an entry level barolo. Second day was better.

  Pas de note précise, mais acidité très élevée, tanins assez présents et le vin reste plutôt fermé sur 3 h en carafe.
  Encore très jeune, 3-5 ans avant la prochaine.

  Medium to full body, 14% abv, transparent cherry colour. Intense aroma of red fruits, flowers, cedar tar, mushrooms and forest floor background. Dominant strawberry and red currants palate following by muscular tannins, juicy acidity and long finish. Rich and complex but elegant and balanced wine. Food friendly, well pairing to ali di pollo alla griglia. Ready, open one hour ahead. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Drink now and for next 10/12 years, perhaps longer.
