  The nose is quite unusual because of a lemon zest component I detect. But it also displays more traditional notes of oak, blackberry, cloves, spice and leather. Very modern but attractive. The palate is explosive with black cherry, mocha and toasted oak, but is cut short by the powerful tannins. This wine is loaded with tannic backbone and is still very young. I think in 5 or so years the tannins will resolve and what will evolve is one very fine wine that might suprise a lot of people. This wine has a story yet to tell.

  Drunk with a cigar. Acidic. Not fully appreciated.

  O - rubinröd m begynnande tegelkant
  D - härlig doft av körsbär, rök, tobak, tomatpuré, saltlakrits, jord, kryddnejlika
  S - smaken infriar inte doften helt, körsbär, oregano o andra örter, ekfat, kärnbitter, fin lite örtbesk avslutning, sv vinbär, mandelmassa
  Vinet känns ännu ungt och alla delar är inte integrerade. Märkbart hur Sangiovesemarkörerna helt dominerar vid öppnandet med tepåsetanniner o allt men med lite luftning kryper cab sauv fram. Välgjort om än i en ogynnsam fas.
