Cherries, touch of mango, tea, earth. Fruit is extremely pretty on the nose but does not follow through on the palate, where it feels a little disjointed. For me, slightly behind the Tre Tine this year. Uncertain how it will, or will not, evolve from here on.

Dark cherries, stone, a very clear iron/blood component. Harmonious on the palate. For me, slightly ahead of the Brunate this year. Good now, but no rush.

Wow, this is exceptionally good. The fruit is just so pure and fresh. There is almost a little tart note of grapefruit or lemon which makes it really interesting. Smoked meat and a well-balanced dose of oak, adding some toast and vanilla. Still tannins left, but at the same time so silky. Finish is looong.
Drinking very well at the moment after an hour of air. Depending on your taste, perhaps there is even further positive development to come.
I am impressed!
