O: rouge grenat assez foncé, opaque.
N: des tonnes de fruits des champs frais/légèrement confits, d'une précision et d'une pureté foudroyante. J'ai rarement senti des fruits d'une telle délicatesse dans un vin...
B: tanins moy très très fins, longueur moy, corps moy, fruits des champs légèrement confits, acidité moy.
Somme toute un assez bon vin, mais certainement pas pour le prix en ce moment. Le nez est incroyable, mais en bouche, rien de spécial.
Probablement beaucoup trop jeune, ne pas toucher avant 5-10 ans au minimum sur ce millésime.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 20, 2020 - Drank it at Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence. I don't remember too much, but that this was exceptional merlot.

May 28, 2019 - Wow wine, but too young to open by 10 years! I mistakenly took it out of my cellar thinking it would be a 1998. Oops. This was smooth, concentrated, with the right structure to turn into a beauty.

November 12, 2018 - Open, soft and modern. Plush black fruit that completely conceals it’s tannins. Delicious.
