Vertical Marion Winemakers Dinner (Il Grappolo Blu (CPH)): The nose is a little restrictive and closed. Some pine, chocolate and light prune are coming through. On the palate it requires a lot of air for the cherry fruit to present itself. The tannins are very agressive together with the acidity. The length is long and again very acidic. Does not show any of the characteristics of the warm vintage. There is also some dark bitter chocolate in the midpalate. A very nice wine that need a serious amount of aging. Amazing QPR
