Crimson core with orange rim; cherry, rose, sandalwood, sexy, rich, hints at some oak; rich rounded mouthfeel, cherry meat, tannic, licorice, some cedary tannin, really strong cherry; delicious, I really enjoyed the texture of this.
Dull garnet with bright lake rim; faint nose of cherry, raspberry, orangey acidity, fresh, soft texture, fine tannin; tasty, called Sangio but not BdM, best bottle of this yet.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Darker crimson, see through with light rim; caraway, vegetal, red fruit, cranberry, strawberry, aged; richer on the palate, ripe cranberry, strawberry, some tannin body and alcohol; some thought Barolo-nope, good, well aged.
Darker core with light bright purple rim; dark berry, blackberry, plum, cassis, fresh berries, some oak; more serious and tannic on the palate, fresh, darker fruit, modern; blah, no complexity at all yet.
Darker core with bricking; stank, ripe, nori, red and dark berry like the nose, rich mouthfeel with soft tannin, dark ripe cranberry, some tartness, some VA, currant, texture is great; was picking up on a maritime influence so I called Musar- off again.
Very dense and extracted, bright reddish plum rim; anise seed, black licorice, plum, cassis; plum, higher alcohol, currant, fruit cake, liqueur, some autumnal influence; seemingly very youthful still with lots pent up.
Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
Dark cloudy with crimson orange rim; brown sugar, caraway, meat, autumnal, slight VA; softer palate, some dark cherry, caraway, some tannin, acorn, VA; I liked this much less than others at tasting, thought it was tired.
