Opened about one hour before dinner, then drunk over dinner. The leftovers were retasted one day later when this TN was written. Still young, with the nose showing that kind of complexity which I usually associate with young wines. On the second day it is cleaner and the red fruit is now mixed with a spicy note, between cloves and cinnamon. The palate is in a great shape, but still young. Great freshness on the start, it shows a good depth and intensity in the mid-palate, which, as the temperature rose a bit, became quite silky. Earthy and iron notes. The finish still shows some light astringency, with a very fine texture. The finish also shows spicy notes. It is drinking very well right now, but I have the impression that this could last much longer, another ten years at least.

Lys, lillarød, orange kant. Kirsebær, plomme, litt sopp på nesen. Fyldig kropp, fin syre, kirsebærfrukt, fine tanniner. Balansert, med lang smak. Deilig vin.

Next to two Nerello Mascalese wines of the same vintage, this was lighter and more on the fruit, but also with some evident VA. Lovely nonetheless.

Light red. Developed, spicy and perfumed aromas. Delicious, sweet and sour in the mouth. Deep and concentrated.

very mature, may be too mature for most, not for me. dried musrooms dominate the palate.
