Sampled at Oinoscent, courtesy of a colleague, bottle open 2.30hr before tasting it Thick core and depth in the nose, black fruit, earthy, whole spice, smoked paprika notes. Palate shows black fruit, warmth, leaner than expected, some stalky notes, cuts rather short

not bad but -really - I was expectng some more from BC 2008. Slow to open.with some oxigenation gets better, expressing some tertiary scents and some more complexity. Stucture is elegant but not enough powerful (medium bodied to be generous), quite anonymous, in a word. Again, not bad but falls quite short on brand expectations- After a bike ride alonsgide the Dora River with Francesco, on an icy bike lane

4 bottles, decanted, at Garrick - dark, quite dense, ruby, little development; plum, cassis, mineral, some vanilla, attractive enough if not particularly complex or pure; medium bodied, ok length and persistence, slightly dilute, dry, slightly gravelly, tannins currently dominating muted fruit, some bottles more attractive, should be better in 5 years, no rush. VG (16).

Bright red and blue berries, toasted licorice, fennel and clove on the nose. Palate is a bit reserved compared to the aromatic nose. Penetrating gravel and herbs on the full-bodied mid-palate. This ends with a warm and fresh finish.

Very good after some air. Drink or hold. Decant if you drink now.
