  Over two nights. Quick a 30 minutes decant. Medium ruby red with a touch of orange at the rim. The nose is lively and energetic showing forest red fruit followed by herbs, tar, potting soil and funky notes. On the palate, this is light-to-medium bodied wine offering bright red fruit, herb and earthy notes. Savoury and refreshing. Good weight and intensity, fruit is in full balance with medium + acidity and tannin. Funny prickly sensation on the palate. Medium-long finish. Very nice wine. Hasn't changed much on the second night.

  Really good again. Tempted to buy more of this but will probably go for the '19 instead. Waiting on the '19 CR to be released as well. We opened several "better" wines this weekend, yet this was the most enjoyable.

  Deep ruby. Pronounced red cherry, red currant, rose, cranberry, mint, tobacco, tar, bark, medium+ tannin and acid. Fruit ripe and primary still and the wine can age. Nice example of Alto Piemonte. Floral notes bloomed in the glass.

  Decanted over abt 45 minutes. Medium-deep tile-red colour, a bit hazy. Quite wild on the nose, funk, potting soil, herbs, forest red fruit. On the palate, it is rather thin and astringent, the acidity is brought to the fore. Seems to be closed down and coming through its undrinkable/dumb phase. The bottle I had abt year ago was much more enjoyable.
