Decanted for 1.5 hours. Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, crushed stone. The wine did open up in the glass but this needs a lot of time as suggested by the tannins; grippy, powdery and powerful. Have 5 bottles left, won’t open another until 2028.

Decanted 5 hours, very complex on the nose given lots of dark red fruits, violet, earthy, leather, mushroom, tobacco leaf, hints of benzine and green spices. This wine is built for a long haul, full of intensity, energy and masculinity. The grippy tannins telling me it needs a deep sleep not to touch untill 2030.

From glass. Went right from the nose to drinking it; must have been taken in by the high, sharp red fruit and rhubarb. Those notes too on the palate, with a lovely underbelly of roasted meaties. Lots of diffuse stringy and powdery tannin. If you like, "Tuscan Burgundy." Did like this.

Dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, licorice, and rubber. Medium-plus body, with medium-plus tannins and acidity. Lengthy finish. Complex and balanced. 55% Merlot and 45% Sangiovese.

기분좋은 산도. 단맛은 거의 없음. 전형적인 산지오베제라고 생각했는데 메를로가 절반인줄은 몰랐음. 적당한 가격에 나오면 앞으로도 사모으지 않을까 싶은 와인.
