Medium ruby color. Expressive aroma’s of red cherry, fresh berries, some toast and hints of forrest floor an eucalyptus. Very broad range from fresh to dark. Full bodied with layers if smooth tannins and some fresh acidity, contrasting the slight bitter oak flavors. A very, very long finish that continous to evolve between fresh and bitter.
I think this wine still needs a bit more time to harmonise. It is a bit fragmented right now. The score I give is more in anticipation of this than how I view the wine currently (probably two notches down). Drink 2025 - 2033.
While I’m a big fan of any wine that brings this magical fruit+eucalytus aroma, this wine is probably held down a bit for me by its oak balance.

Super young, but smooth tannins, great mouthfeel, complex primary and secondary flavours of varied red fruits, hint of black, and nice smoky oak.

Italy 2019 Trip; 6/21/2019-7/10/2019 (UK / Maremma / Montalcino / Chianti): Intense nose of dark plum, toast. Lovely floral, menthol character with sweet finish. Definitely a quality win but somehome just not for me.
