  This was great tonight and opened quickly with dark cherry, blueberry, menthol, and sage. The palate has a nice round texture and leads to a minerally finish.

  Al naso profumi di media consistenza di frutti rossi maturi, con note di caffè, tabacco, legno e pelle amalgamati in uno splendido mix. Al palato strutturato e corposo, complesso, ricco, consistente, leggera sapidità. Ottimo equilibrio, con tannini di fine qualità ed acidità perfettamente dosata. Giusta persistenza. Davvero ottima.

  Decanted a portion and it opened within an hour, same at 24 and 48 hrs. Medium to deep ruby color. Tart cherry, a little raspberry on the nose. Tart cherry, red cassis, pomegranate, vanilla, and a touch of smokiness on the palate with a 30-35 sec lingering tart finish. Beautifully made, pairs easily with pastas and grilled foods. Will be interesting to see how this ages.

  Still a blockbuster, and frankly, while it was enjoyed, it needs more time to calm down a bit. So I would hold for two more years.

  When this is on, it is rocking.
  What a nose, packed with stuffing, resembling a top notch Barolo with its immense depth.
  
  Fantastic mouthfeel, broad and serious with a seemingly never ending finish.
  
  This is built to age as well, drink now and over the next decade (would be my unqualified guess)
