This IS a pairing wine. Uncorked at 11. Took an occasional sip over 7 hours. The tannins died down as did the floral and fruit. But once we paired it with pasta and salad (with tomatoes) the wine filled in the gaps of the food. Wow ! This is a wine to have WITH food. By itself one might give it a poor rating ; so don’t do that.

A very pretty nose of rose petals, pomegranate, cherry and balsamic. The palate is full and juicy, underpinned by abundant structure. There's a hint of meat and iron in the background and length is very good.

(Berry’s Italian Tasting) :: Tight, unyielding at this stage, but single vineyard shows it’s generosity and complexity. A broad panoply of florals and spices which promises to open up into something quite special over the next 5 years. Fine and very firm tannin.
