Lots of spice with mild well integrated tannins. Bright red fruits. Well liked by everyone. Drinking well after an hour decant. Probably needs a few more years to hit its peak.

Paired with Ann’s Lasagna. The bottle was opened about an hour before dinner, but not decanted.
Structured and young, the wine showed red fruits, along with mint and some orange peel with air. This was nice with the meal, and continued to open as the night went on. I’ll wait a while before opening another and will give it decant next time.

Mid red colour. Ripe fruit on the nose- red cherry, a touch of vanilla. A little bit inexpressive. Round red berries and medium tannin in the mouth. Perfectly nice but perhaps suffered by comparison to other wines we had in Alba.

5 hour decant. And it needs it at this point. Strong tannins but with lovely underlying fruit. Good potential but stay away for some years.

Drank from cellar without decanting & enjoyed with lasagne. Vacuum sealed in cellar & finished two nights later on its own. Light & slightly acidic.
