Medium garnet red. A bit stinky on the nose with some dried cherries and crushed gravel. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Good amount of leather on the palate with some herbs, dried cherries and dried wood. Very dry and long finish. Drink till 2024.

Ethereal garnet hue leads to an expressive nose of mature fruit and old leather. Plums and cherry come through strongly backed up by subtle, unassuming notes of wood. In the mouth the wine is strong and concentrated with a complex red fruit character entwined with plenty of fresh acidity; the tannins are softened giving a smooth, harmonious finish.

Dark berries in the nose. Very, very strong, mouthdrying tannins, but the acidity lives up to it. The tannins indicates that the wine needs more years and/or many hours decanted. Intense fleshy amarena, a touch of marcipan, pepper and warmth from the alcool. Medium+ aftertaste. Not completely well-balanced. A wine for powerful food - it is almost undrinkable without.

Filippo Antonelli Comes to Visit (Loft): Really fresh aromatics. Great fruit. Tannic of course, but not a monster. The purity aspect continues with this. Maybe not a great wine, but very nice, and a great price for the DOCG. 89-90
