Served with a slight chill. The sour cherries and fruit has faded, but what nice grip and balance this still retains. Another great food wine that has beat the actuarial tables.

At the six year mark and its showing a fair amount of bricking, but the wine is still kicking with a nice dose of acidity to help offset the fairly rich mouth. Sour cherries, mountain red fruits: it is almost as if Pinot Noir had settled in Valtellina except that instead of bordering Switzerland, its bordering the Mediterranean on the Ligurian coast. Light on its feet, but again with a dual punch of tannins and acidity. I wasn't sure how long you can keep this, but this bottle is still very enjoyable.

Popped, poured. Light bodied, red fruit with refreshing acidity around a spine of meaty/earthy notes. Elegant with some subtle complexity. 89+

Surprisingly good. Not overly complex, but lots of red fruit, a little cream. Great midweek pizza wine.
