Lovely! On the nose, youthful with red fruits, floral and earth. Raspberries, red cherries and strawberries, with rose petals. Hint of wet earth and leaves. Medium bodied on the palate with smooth silky tannins. Medium plus acidity masks the high alcohol. Flavors of juicy red cherries, savory herbs and sweet spices. Lingers. This will age gracefully for another 10 years. But why wait? Amazing with taligatelle ai funghi!

Sexy and seductive. Honeycomb, marzipan, orange peel, stone fruits, elderflower, hazelnuts and candied ginger. So balanced and smooth on the palate with crisp acidity that makes you want to have another sip or even better, another glass! 48 years old and just starting to hit its prime. Foie gras anyone or as we did, with pecan pie.

Aromas of cherries, dried herbs, forest floor and sweet spices. Lush and full in the palate. This wine is light on its feet but powerful at the same time. On the palate, there is plenty of red fruit - cherries, raspberries and touch of cranberries- with well integrated tannins. Fresh with nice acidity and a grip that finishes long. Drinking great now, but will age gracefully for another 15 years.
