Time has made this wine so much better than my first bottle shortly after release. This is a lightweight red with the palate softness of graphite. Predominate flavors are not fruit-forward but instead pencil lead, herbs, dried flowers. Fruit flavors are dehydrated strawberry and cherry. I adore the rare lightweight red with dry/earthy beauty absent off notes. This delivers.

(from memory) Deep ruby, inviting nose of cherry, red currant, and black raspberry with underlying notes of tar, earth and spice, structured but approachable on the palate with red fruits, savory notes, firm but well integrated tannins and plum acidity, finishes long with more red fruit, strong minerality, lots of spice, and touches of earth

Dried/dehydrated black fruit. Volcanic ash. Very little sweet fruit.

Ottimo, elegante, sinuoso e intenso. Ha ancora margini di miglioramento, almeno 3-5 anni.
