  High quality fruit but tastes "kinda generic natty"...hmph. Rosso is so confusing.

  At first the nose was muted, but with air it became very nice. Menthol and spice notes. This is fairly lean with crunchy, tart, black cherry fruit. With air, it starts to open up, and some light tannin emerges. We both enjoyed this and it may still improve.
  
  Day two: It is rare that I like a wine as much on the second day as the first, but this one was just as delicious the next day. In fact, it may have been better balanced and showing younger, with more tannin and tension.

  No different than prior; wish I'd waited longer on this because it was really quite tight on opening and took about 45 minutes to even show much of anything on the nose. But once it did it was again a stand out Rosso. Easily has 10 years of positive development. I may try to find another bottle or two.

  Always one of the better Rosso’s out there. Dusty cherry, tangy orange peel, savory funk and some oak. While drinkable the tannins are coarse and grip. Needs a couple years.

  See previous notes. Funk, darker, more savory fruit profile at the onset with evident oak in the form of coconut.
