  Gambero Rosso Tasting (Doltone House, Sydney): Smells dense, concentrated, a little mushroom, dark hued fruit is reserved/contained, a little pot pourri note. Medium plus intensity acidity and tannins; coarse floury textured, that little umami note, touch of dark fruits, long, slight warmth on the finish. Slightly out of whack. Okay.

  La Rosa 10 year vertical on Zoom with Fabio Bosio. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fruity red cherries, sweet spices, floral violet + baby powder, ?vanillin in the background. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, crystalline high acidity, medium+ alcohol, fine high tannins with good chew, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of fruity ripe red cherries, sweet spices. Very primary. Medium+ finish.
  Good quality. Too primary at this stage to pass full judgement. But quite on point with the new style trend in the wine connoisseur market.
