currently this bottle is - odd - strange in nose and palate...very hard tanins; put in the fridge and will revisit in a day or two...
after 4 days in the fridge (it was poured out of the bottle and back before I put it there) it is beginning to resemple a wine. But - still a long way to go - not gonna open another bottle for the next 6 -8 years...now up to 88 and may hold the components to be really good

Lineare, corretto, con una certa eleganza. Può durare molto a lungo ma non credo che nel tempo possa fare un salto di qualità. Comunque piacevole ma mi aspettavo molto di più.

Decanted at Castello Grinzane Cavour with an amazing lunch. The wine is superb. Fragrant nose of baking spices, violets, and a little potting soil. On the palate rhubarb, bright red cherries, more spices and acid. Bold and classy. Love it, great with my risotto and later duck.

Young but already enjoyable. Sensational aroma when first opened.

Youthful, but open up well with a 4 hour decant. Bright flavors of cherries, raspberry and violets. Tannins are present, but well integrated.
