  Ruby red, hedonistic dark red fruit, floral, tar and some iron/minerality. Deep, already showing complexity, firm but polished tannins. Beautiful ending, very long. I d wait another five years for my next bottle. Great potential

  Bottle at Glam in Venice, properly decanted for an hour. Medium deep ruby color. Understated, complex, dancing notes traversing between ripe red cherry, blackberry, toasted oak, warm spices, gravel, with end hint of menthol and leather. Dry, rounded acidity, integrated yet firm tannic spine, palate follows through. Full body, fantastic balance, long lingering finish.

  Off the wine list at King, NYC. Decanted, then served immediately. Rose petals and cherry, with a savory character. Strong acidity, but not too tannic. Infanticide. Paired with their ‘onglet’ (steak cutlet): fine, but not inspired.

  Pronounced nose intensity with mushroom truffle, strawberry. Medium+ acidity and tannin is high. Tannin is grippy and bold. Can taste red clay on the palate. Still youthful. Will need more years in the bottle.
