Still hanging in there. First taste was a bit rustic but opened up with good dark red fruit, forest floor, subtle tabacco leaf, and a hint of roasted game. Well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. Delicious. Will open last bottle within a year or two.

Delicious Vino Nobile! Powerful, yet elegant display of the native grape. Awesome nose of oak, leather straps, candy, and a floral mountainside. A lot more explosive fruit on the palette than than you'd expect, strong floral notes balanced with the expected prune and oak backdrop of the region, and an almost cherry cream-like flavor lingering at the end. Really well made, nicely balanced, will absolutely buy this again. (NOTE: It is still a bit young and needed a decant to come together, not a big one, 30-45mins or so, don't over decant, but definitely let it open up).

Drank at Davina for Sarah's 18th. Dark cherry flavors with a nice tannic backbone.

Very good, classic VNdM. Drink now (may be decanted) or hold. Good QPR.
