In contrast to Winiac who I follow and trust... mine has been kept since release in a controlled cellar and it is still showing plenty of spice and fairly grippy tannins along with some definite tertiary qualities. I’m enjoying this one with Osso bucco and I would say it still has another good 5 years on the plateau.

France vs. Italy @ Roel's (Netherlands): Floral bouquet, some volatilaty hovering out of the glass, sour cherry, bay leaf, grenadine, acidic impressions on the nose. Young and tannic in the mouth, bright acidity, snappy and zestful. Compact and concealed in its aromatics, shy notes of cassis, tar, red cabbage and apple. This is a wine of cool stature and has nice sweet-n-sour interplay. Made me think Nebbiolo... 17.5-18/20
