July 13, 2023 - Decanted for a couple of hours. Deep almost impenetrable cherry red colour lightening to purple at the meniscus. Nose is an OMG blast of damp Piedmont woodland soil where the wild boars have left their traces, quickly followed by a lovely blast of fresh, richly ripe blackberries. Wow, so earthy. Touches of white Dulux emulsion paint. Hints of coffee beans, vanilla pods and sweet ripe flogs. Camphor. Palate is very similar expression of the nose….not overly sophisticated in that it doesn't elevate to a higher dimension, despite the promise of the nose Having said that, it has lovely wild blackberry fruit and forest earth. A touch acidic on the back end, which is the only slightly off note. Big and growly and resonant on the finale. Absolutely gorgeous. But it did fade with extended time in the glass. Cannot see this improving and will drink my two remaining bottlies within a year or so.
