Loads of game, bloody meat, sweaty saddle, smoke, and black fruit on the nose, oak, chocolate, and vanilla added on the palette. Black cherry, blackberry, silage. Better than many CdP.

Some context. This followed hot on the heels of the 1970 Terre del Barolo, Barolo so the palate required some considerable adjustment. Decanted for two hours. Opaque and medium purple in the glass. Opens up with blood, iron, game, and fermented grass that’s supported by a fruit profile predominantly black in nature and sweet baking spices. Keen to revisit at some point in the not too distant future in a slightly more structured lineup with less of a gulf in age between the wines, which I’ve only myself to blame for.

Brièvement À l'ouverture, floral (pivoine ou violette selon...), framboise noire, cacao, réglisse. Tanins fondus, Prêt à boire. N'a malheureusement pas tenu 24 hres, le lendemain, notes de réduction, moux.

Apparence rouge grenat très dense. Beaucoup de lie écartée à la décantation. Nez discret mais distinctif, olive noir, mûre, bois torréfié. En bouche, le vin a de la mache, les saveurs sont riches, mûre cuite, réglisse, olive kalamata, les tanins sont très structurant mais bien intégré. La bouteille s'est bu avec gourmandise. Un véritable petit CdeP bien à point. Excellente valeur.
