Wednesday, November 7, 2018 - 2018 Villa d’Este Wine Symposium – Kelly, RJ, Justin and Kevin's excellent adventure; 11/7/2018-11/11/2018 (Villa D’este, Lake Como): Youthful expressive nose displaying concentrated red and black fruit, blackberry, strawberry and rhubarb tart, coffee, caramel, sweet spices, stem and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of rich black and red fruit, silky and polished, bright acidity, a hint of tannins and a long opulent red fruit driven finish. It is interesting to compare with the 02 Roumier Amoureuses. This is richer and bigger but not as refined and detailed. It is not showing much sous bois and will need another decade to reach the peak. The tannins, although noticeable, seem to be nicely managed. It is drinking beautifully in a very youthful way.
