SAQ N° 11200788 70$ Avec le gigot d'agneau en croute d'herbe. Un vin des Marches avec vue sur la mer. Robe sombre mais disque bien pourpre. Bouquet de boite a tabac, cuir, caramel, un peu kirsché. Bouche avec tannins fins, fruits cuits, raisins séchés. Similaire a certain porto vintage, sans la lourdeur alcoolique. Longueur significative. Bien, à point. ***

This wine needs to breath. I would open and let sit for at least 1 1/2 hours. Or age for another 2 years. This is a nice earthy Italian cabernet that I think with time will be closer to a 90. There is some nice fruit in this wine. It just is not ready. Do not pop and pour.

Pleasant enough flavors and aromas but this is an over the top fruit and alcohol bomb. May be because of the intense heat of the vintage. Hopefully it is not a stylistic decision on their part. I will need to try a different vintage.

Patience has paid off. Soft tannins and well balanced. Dark ripe fruit.

This wine is FINALLY coming into its own. I still think that it has a few years before it peaks, but there is a nice balance now.

This has settled down a lot in the last two years. Much more pleasant and subtle now.
