  Dark fruit, youthful, pretty locked down. Not showing a whole lot right now but the balance is good. Needs time.

  Popped and poured. Nice nose of red fruits and spice. Pallet was all spice to begin but this really came alive around the one hour mark. Cherry, earth good mouthfeel and long finish. 90 when first opened, 92 after an hour and probably a 93-94 in 4 or 5 years. Nice wine. 85 % sangiovise 15 % something else.

  아직 어린듯 답답하게 시작
  점차 퍼지는 달콤한 딸기향
  못지않은 강렬한 캔디의 맛?!
  묵직한 바디에 중간 산도, 살짝 까베르네 소비뇽 같기도.
  지금도 맛있었지만 좀더 숙성했으면 좋았을 것 같다.

  Needed an hour or so of air. Wonderful intoxicating nose of dark cherry and tried herbs and sage. Has an airly saline edge that breathes life into the nose and opens up the dark fruit on the palate. Fine firm tannins, still youthful. Lengthy finish with the dark and dried fruit profile hanging on the tannins. Quite enjoyable now but could use a few years to soften.

  Limited notes, came across as a little sweet.
