Coravin. Immediately was giving off a nice barnyard funk that quickly blew off. Nose has settled down to currants and blackberries, with still a hint of barnyard. Fruit is pretty faded but the tannins remain firm and still chewy. I’m kinda on the fence here. I’ve had these 6-7 years in and they’ve been great. This one is definitely past the peak and I can’t get past the faded fruit. It’s well made and 100% Italian style but I’m left a bit disappointed. I’m getting some minor secondary notes that others have mentioned but it’s just not enough.

Ouvert et bu cette fois et c'était sans doute une erreur car ce vin a encore besoin d'air pour se révéler de manière optimale. Très bon mais n'est jamais vraiment sorti de son cocon, pas de notation ce soir.

deep ruby. On the nose black currant, black plums, vanilla, hint of menthol. On the palate the wine is dry with medium plus acidity, medium plus fine ripe tannins, medium alcohol, medium body. The flavor intensity is medium with black currant, black plums, vanilla, hint of menthol. The finish is medium. The wine is good but lacks length and complexity

Decanted but began drinking immediately. Lots of cedar nose upon opening. Seemed to blow off within 5-10 mins.
Not much in the way of fruit left but very enjoyable secondary characteristics.
