The wine is clear and pale garnet in colour. The nose is clean with pronounced aromas of ripe red fruit (red currants, raspberry, cherry), violets, roses, vanilla, smoke, leather and savoury. The wine is developing. The palate is dry with high acidity, medium (+) fine grained tannins, still a bit grippy, medium (+) alcohol, medium (+) body, medium (+) flavours of raspberry, violets, rose, vanilla, savoury, long finish. A little dusty. Very good quality. Can be drunk now but suitable for further ageing. Has the concentration and structure to develop further tertiary flavours. A lovely bouquet starting to develop.

Deep dark fruit, mellowing and opening up, still a stiff structure and quite austere. Try in a few years

Tarter and still hard. Needing time. Drank a bottle of this last week, don't remember it. More a comment on my state I think then the wine.

Confraria - Piemonte (Vito): Petrolatum, bacon, mineral. Medium body, great acidity, very balanced and very interesting. Long.
