  Dry blue berries and viol - Iron rust and tar. Coke?.. You feel hi quality and a very long finish. However- its great! Save for 20 y or take it now. If I had only one I take it in 3’years

  Working with wine 2014 seminar 2 - piemonte (???): On the nose there are flavours of leather, rose, meaty and cheesy, mineral - wet stone notes, earthy, plum, toast. In the mouth the wine is juicy, plummy, leathery, meaty with slight alcohol heat coming in with medium intensity talc like tannin. Very long.

  This is great juice but far too expensive for us.
  Light red color with slight bricking.
  Elegant but muted nose of a youthful wine.
  Has an incredible mouth feel with the fine grained woody M++ tannins and M+ acids. The wine has a medium body but still manages to fit in an extravagant array of emerging aromas of plums, red berries, a perfect sun-tan, black currants, clay notes etc. The southern exposure can be noticed as a small, VERY attractive, part of the mid-palate. Suggesting itself to grow and expand over the years to come.
  The woody, bitter tannins would today make for an excellent marriage with a fine non-fruity olive oil and a baguette.
  Still young, for the long haul. (Wish we had some.)
  One glass at Riedel Bar (Enoteca) in Hikarie Building, Shibuya (Tokyo).

  Decanted for about 4 hours. Bouquet: Dusty gravel, smoke, blackberry, aged plum, floral, lightly perfumed.
  Palate: Intense, drying tannins.
  Flavor: Floral, red and black currant, smoke and chocolate towards the finish which lasts over 40 seconds.
  Comment: Outstanding.
  Day 2 Bouquet: Gamey, dried red currant, coffee, chocolate.
  Palate: Gum gripping tannins.
  Flavor: Light red currant, ripe cranberry note, coffee, mushroom, bitter chocolate from the mid-palate on through the finish. Again, finishes with intense, drying tannins.
  Comment: Has opened up beautifully showing more red fruit character. 47,250 yen/bottle.
