Certainly one of the best Quarz I have tasted so far. Beautiful fresh and dense nose with lots of Cassis and elder. On the palate dense, elegant, mineral and long with beautiful clear fruit and not too hot. 92+

Compared to the Casa Mate more feminin, but also a bit austere. Lean, precise, tannin a bit drying. Needs time. 91-92+

Better tannin structure and fruit like 2019. More approachable already. Quite nice. 92-93+

A Step up from the Chiniera. Rounder, more flesh, more fruit. Complex, deep, long. Different soil = different wine. 93-94

Not as open as the 2020 Barolo from Grasso. Extreme tannin, dense, compact. Hard to describe....

Today somewhat strange. Tried two times, both times not very approachable. Shut down? Everything is there, but it is currently in a complicated stage.

Powerful tannin, complex, energy depth. Lots of warm ripe fruit, high acidity. Needs a long time to unfold (10+ years?). Potential for 94+

Youthful, closed nose. Palate surprisingly open and approachable. Balanced, high, ripe acidity, fine texture, nice fruit, long. You can start drinking now, but it will of course evolve at least for another decade. 93-94

Fine, airy, multi-layered nose. This is no blockbuster! It is all about elegance and finesse. Beautiful clear fruit, some lime, very salty, great structure and tension, very long and lingering. Really great, but for me not (yet) perfect. 95+

Tasted 2020, 2019, 2016 and 2009. The latest vintages a clearly showing the same structure and terroir, but are very muted and closed. Hard to describe and not very approachable at the moment for me.

Tasted 2020, 2019, 2016 and 2009. 2009 was finally starting talking to me :) Clear, deep garnet color. Fine, Merlot driven nose. Starts to make fun, balanced, spicy, floral, dense and deep. Long and lingering. Will of course evolve for at least another decade. 93-94+
