Ok some hints of ripeness in the glass but tannins is very extracted.
Some coffee and herbs but tannins very high and extracted.
Good weight & structure not much on the nose. Lively acid. Toffee.
Floral nose elegant. Some coffee. Lively acid with bitter tannins.
Sweet fresh on the nose. Cherry slightly perfumed. Lacks structure and weight but very finely made. Finish is very long.
Sweet toffee. Herbs and acrylic. Very weightly on palate with touch of alcohol but tannins is very extracted yet silky showing the quality of the maker. Very lively acid.
Earthy and cigar with well balanced palate. Finish goes on and on. Alcohol of 15% does not really show. Very well made
Elegant nose as compared to ornellaia. Palate is also more elegant also but lighter. Lenght is good.
