Very good. Blind - I would have pegged this as a Borolo - roses, cherries, dustiness and earth. Nice acidity and tannins. The age of the wine shows nicely. Enjoyed this quite a bit!

Oops, opened too soon. Drinkable but firm tannins tonight. A nice punch and presence to it though; definitely see the riserva designation. Purplish ruby color. Smells like dark fruits, cherry, licorice, cedar, Kirsch, bit of a floral component. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, drying and grippy tannins, and flavors of dark fruits, some bright lemon and orange notes, some spice and minerals. Well made; I like it. Give the next one a couple more years.

Double decant...a first! Nez de petites baies rouges et de cerises noirs, d'épices et de fines herbes, de boite à tabac...blond, et des notes d'espresso. Un vin fruité, avec une acidité fraiche, mi-corsé, texturé, charnu avec une courte à moyenne finale sèche. Meilleur avec des pâtes italiennes sauce aux tomates...les notes poivrées accentuées. 88++

coming into its own with potential to improve with more bottle aging. Cherry and pomegranate fruit, some dusty earth in the back end and a hint of leather.

Another nice showing - glad I drank this sooner than later though.
