Aired a couple of hours in the decanter. Very earthy with herbal flavours and notes of cherries, raspberries and well integrated oak. Has a real sence of origin and character. Really amazing stuff!

Popped and poured. A great wine to start before the Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia. The aromas were heavy on the tobacco leaf with some pleasing soft dirty berries. It was definitely very earthy. There was also a slight heat component throughout this wine that was a little rough and surprising considering it was only 13% alcohol. The palate and finish was soft and smooth, without much complexity, showing similar earthy fruit throughout. A really fine starter wine.

Hard to pick as a pinot. Abundance of cherries and mature leather notes. Not trying to be flattering, but hard not to like.
