February 14, 2023 - It has developed already quite a bit of tertiary smell and taste. Strong leather, wet fur but also already manure. I would not have expected such a quick evolution. For the rest, nice acidity and balance. However, it is this strong manure character that leaves me perplexed. Maybe it was this particular bottle or the wine is in a specific stage (although it is very difficult that a wine loses that manure feature after developing it). I have another 3 bottles, let's see in a year where it is.

May 16, 2021 - Decanted the wine for about one hour.
Ruby red colour, low intensity and with quite some evolution.
In the nose, aroma's of cedar, cherry, nail varnish and a small nutty hint.
A soft start on the palate. A high acidity, but the wine has enough body to carry this.
Aroma's of chocolate, cerry on alcohol, pepper and cedar.
Long finish.
This wine accompanied my ragu alla bolognese very well -

Ouvert et bu, il lui faut 30 minutes avant de se livrer.
Plutôt fruité et fin, bonne structure et bien équilibré. Assez acide.
Le rapport Q/P me semble assez moyen toutefois. -

May 30, 2020 - Juicy, elegant, with some breadth and depth already. Sadly only 6,000 bottles are produced of this organically grown blend of 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, Colorino. Give this an hour in decanter for an even better, more full experience. recommended
