Extremely powerful Barbera filled with spice and tannins alongside fresh fruit like blackberry and cherry. Some mint and vanilla too. Mouth filling deep texture. Would still say this needs few more year to peak.

This one didn't really leave an impression. Quite bland and super oaky. Maybe just way too young to open up yet? Dominant powerful tannins, very leathery, christmas spice, coffee, vanilla. Was missing the fruit completely.

Very fresh Chardonnay. Round and fruity with ripe apple, lemon zest, grapefruit, melon with a slight butter. Nicely balancing acidity and really long refreshing aftertaste.
