A bottle from a different case. Less nail varnish this time, but also less sweet fruit - a sour edge to this. Stood upright for 4 days, double decanted and left for 10hrs this didn't come around. Cork was very difficult to remove, could have been another bad bottle... I'm now put off this wine. Not obviously faulty this time though. Confected sweet cherry, rotting leaves, and balsamic vinegar with subtle aromas of nail varnish. Mmmm. Improved with air, but not enough. 78pts.

A disappointing bottle. Lovely bright rose and clear, with soaring red fruit... however also a bucket load of nail varnish on the nose (and it didn't clear with even 4hrs in a decanter). Shame. Have plenty more, and keen to try another as there was huge potential here...

Piedmont and Champagne - Round 2 (MG): A little fragile but plenty of impressive and intense flavors of mint, sewer and dirt. Medium aftertaste but overall a very nice wine.

Still super young that came from a prestine bottle bought from crauh wine in NY. If you got one hold on for another 5-10 years.
