  Opened up nicely after about 45 minutes to an hour. Nice, dark cherry, with a hint of earthy tobacco. Well balanced and delicious. This wine will only improve over the next several years but very drinkable now.

  Röd med inslag av tegel. Inte helt klar - färgen påminner om Piemonte. Tydlig men lite nedtonad frukt. Körsbär. Mognadstoner som drar åt tobak. Mycket bra.

  Wow! One hour after a double decant and this wine tastes amazing. The alcohol and tannins that were present at the first pour (prior to decanting) have receded, leaving a very nice, well-balanced but complex wine. This is the first of six bottles I bought and it definitively tastes like a wine that will continue to evolve with a little age. Dark plums, black cherry, vanilla and an earthy hint of tobacco.

  No detailed TN. Opened at Giuseppe's with pasta. A bit too much alcoholic heat, better with food right now. Quite big, juicy ripe black fruit. Could use better balance, time may help mellow it out.

  I was worried I was committing “infanticide” opening this in 2022…but I had 4 bottles and couldn’t keep my hands off…decanted for only 30 minutes or so…it’s already integrated smooth and delicious. Dark cherries and a hint of nuttiness are my up front impression but the very well done acidity brings out spice and just a hint of mellow citrus. It’s fabulous - if I can’t find more I’m going to have to hide my other bottles from myself to see what it’s like at the proper age!
