  Still plenty of upside. High alcohol but otherwise quite balanced, and so very young. Purple, dark berries, plum, tobacco, heavy but very high acidity saves the day. A little clumsy day 1, but much better day 2.

  Holding up very nicely - not getting tired in any way. 30 different grapes from old vines, french oak. Purple color, plum, dark berries, spices, coffee, chokolade. Not as sweet as I feared, nicely balanced and the age start giving some interesting notes.

  I don't know - for some reason this bottle did not do what I had hoped of it. Quite closed, even after aeration for an hour or so. OK but not great. Probably a bad day from my side

  Solid. Needs at least an hour of air before softening. Then still fairly heavy but nice.

  medium+ opaque garnet, medium ruby rim. Medium woody chocolate, soy on the nose. Developing. Medium Dark cherry and soy on the palate with woody touch. dry, medium acidity, medium+ fine tannin, heated alcohol, Medium +body. Fresh boxwood with vanilla and a hint of yogurt in the long finish. Drink now, not suitable for aging or further aging. Good balance holding the alcohol, very good length, good intensity, okay complexity. Very good wine, but with more refined tannin and a delicate woody touch. If not for the medium acidity, would give a guess on Campania Aglianico.
