This is really in a good place and worth opening. Plenty of dark blackberry fruit. Some tar and creosote surrounded by refined tannins. Not austere and drank well on its own or with food.

This is unique to say the least. Consumed over 4 hours. There were times when this was almost sweet, with bright lemon fruit, but at the end it’s lean and astringent. Well made wine with all the grower qualities one might like such as pure crystalline fruit and such a long clean finish. I like it and would enjoy exploring other wines from this grower.

Large scale wine. Fig, currants and ripe blackberries. Some tannins present so a few years would help. Italian version of a Turley zin. This is great but it’s a beast.
