November 12, 2023 - Decanted 1 hour. Spectacular nose with rose petal, tar, earth. Rich mouthfeel. Youthful and will benefitfrom several more years in the cellar.

April 6, 2023 - Appearance: Clear, medium ruby.
Nose: Clean, medium (+) intensity aromas of red and black cherries, dried roses, tar, leather, and spice.
Palate: Dry, high acidity, high tannins, and full-bodied with flavors of tart red fruit, black tea, licorice, and earth. The wine has a long, grippy finish.
Quality: The wine is of high quality. The high acidity and tannins suggest it has the potential to age well, while the complex aromas and flavors indicate a wine of depth and character.1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 16, 2021 - Decanted 7 hours before drinking
Tasted with chicken burger
The nose:
Flowers, cherry, blueberry, blackberry, a little candied fruit, leather and oak.
The Palate:
Quite rich with sweet cherry, blackberry, blueberry. Actually very fruity with a solid amount of oak, but not too much. So rich and powerful. I also do find a green touch.
Tannin high
Acidity medium+
Body medium
You getting the feeling of being on a vineyard a hot summer day, with a light breeze. Really that great feeling of Italy, comes out.
Really good now, but because of it's youth, it should be decanted at least 5 hours. It will last at least a couple of decades.
