Lost just a step from last tasting notes. Somehow a touch fruitier and yet a little less refined 3 years after my last tasting note. Still, a great expression of terroir 12 years later. Paired with homemade pizza. Yum

Nose of black cherry fruit, cigar box, and dry forest floor, more of the same on the palate, medium body, tasty, touch simple, mouth filling fruit, almost rich fruit, slightly past peak drinking, suggest you enjoy now, and a long, long finish.

A deep and unapologetic burgundy. The nose is intense with smokey cherry, star anise, cinnamon and earth. A bit spoffolated as to the intensity of the extraction, but, damn, it gets your attention. Intense cherry on the palate, but it has a distinct smokey quality ... and that’s not bad. Not a great deal of complexity, but it wasn’t really expected. Tannins almost resolved but not entirely smooth. From 375 ml, which is to say, if you have a 750 of this, give it more time; it needs it. Sediment: none. 14.5% alc. With grilled cheese (Nosturno salumi, cheddar and Italian truffle cheese). Recommended.

From mag. A little tired? Or just not much going on.
