PnP, a pale garnet almost deep copper like colour that I've only seen from Roagna. Really enticing nose of strawberries and orange pekoe tea. Medium bodied, sharp acidity at opening that mellowed out with air, grippy but silky tannins, dried strawberries, orange peel. Really cool wine, has great structure and can't wait to see how it evolves. Would let these sit another 4-5 years (93-94)

Poured into decanter, and consumed over 2 hours. Pretty tight at opening, but nice nose, with dark fruit, earthy, dusty, herbal tones. Dark cherry, herbs and some oak on the palate. This wine could have definitely benefitted from a longer decant as it improved throughout, but i dont feel i got its full expression. (91-93)

Just as i remembered it. Cherry, cranberry, some steminess, hint of smoke, bright, and approchable. Not overly complex but ready to enjoy
