  vino aperto due ore prima, rimane molto chiuso prevalgono aromi terziari, frutta molto matura - ciliegia, ribes, mirtillo - cuoio, pelle bagnata, sottobosco, tabacco, cannella.
  (no decanter)
  assaggiato nuovamente il giorno dopo, il cuoio, sottobosco e altri aromi di terra sono attenuati prevalgono gli aromi floreali, ci sono anche piccoli frutti rossi, ciliegie, spezie delicate e legno, tutto molto armonico e fine.
  Il Vino é equilibrato, ancora fresco, i tannini non sono ancora del tutto morbidi, la beva é molto piacevole.

  All you want from an old school bdx. Puts on some weight constantly; pencil shavings ashes; eucalyptus; medium pressure on the palate; medium length but so elegant, espacially given the vintage; now at peak

  10/20/2020 - arvidpalmqvist Likes this wine:

  Oak spices, tobacco, bell peppers, vegetal compost and earth, blackcurrants and sour red berries, hints of butterscotch, wet stones and leather. Elevated mouthwatering acidity, evident tannins, existant fruit, clean, 12.5% abv. Surprisingly balanced and very charming. On the plateau, in my humble opinion - not lacking anything it might have had, and no age-related off-flavours. Decanted but otherwise did not let breathe (which was totally fine, and the wine was pretty much unchanged on day two).
