This was surprisingly youthful, no browning on the rim, clear medium ruby and almost not sediment. The fruit was initially subdued but came forward with a touch of sweetness after about half an hour in the glass. Acidity not high, but still a bit of drying tannin. Very pleasant with veal saltimbocca and spaghetti carbonara. No rush to drink this, though probably not going to change a lot over the next few years.

Still red in color. Took 8 hours to open up and displayed notes of bread, tobacco, vintage car interior, orange and minerals. Strong and not yet fully matured tannins. Nice long finnish.
