  Nice dense texture with good structure. This was ready to go right from the start. With time open it actually started to slide downhill with the ripeness turning toward the pruned side. Plums, prunes, aged leather, dark chocolate and damp earth.

  Utterly delicious. Ripe and full, yet beautifully balanced.

  Hail the dark master, taking centerstage in a company of aging bordeaux and very famous DRC-burgundy. Intense, manly, smiokey (very smookey, chocolate and tar here; too young, but very enjiyable - if you can handle the style.

  Opened for 4 hours. Color is deep garnet/purple. On the nose: Plum, dark chocolate, cassis, baking spices and a bit of orange zest. On the palate: Plum, cassis, dark chocolate, bit of spice/ cinnamon and espresso. Long finish and very sensuous mouthfeel. The wine is great but it is very young. I think needs 5+ years. These wines are alway just wonderful.

  9/22/2023 - Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

  small sample from a bottle that had been open for about 4 hours (not decanted)
  
  deep purple red color, intense dark nose, black fruits, cocoa, a hint of polish, camphor and black thorny bramble, similarly dark and cool on the palate, ponderous, like Soldera's Brunello- there is great volume and much complexity but in this young stage it all rests below the surface of a dark wide tranquil pond, seamless, pristine, tannins well buried under the primary fruit mass, note of bitter chocolate, intensely mineral and with a good long finish, showing well now but this will need quite a long time to slowly age and gently open to its fullest potential.
  
  (****)+, 2035++ a long wait ahead for the full measure, but unusually enjoyable now as well
