The wine showed an evolving tertiary quality but without the diminution of fruit over a hour. Still vibrant red current, hibiscus tea, sour cherry, with a forest floor, mushroom broth, and ferrous undertone. Impeccable and lingering finish.

Wine in the Sunshine State; 2/20/2020-2/23/2020 (Florida): In a pretty amazing line-up of wines and this got a bit overshadowed I think. Or at least I don't remember it as clearly as some of the others. All wines this night were good though and I liked it.

Italian Dinner Chez David (David's Place, Mpls): Medium red, ultra murky with heavy sediment. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Ooh yeah, these are delightfully complex, dank basement on the nose followed by blood meal, cherry, dried spice, and crushed flowers. The palate has a lot of tart cherry and red currant, iron and forest floor. Medium bodied with round pretty tannins, long and beguiling. This is one to seek out.

Emidio Pepe wines with Chiara De Iulis Pepe: A pronounced acidity attacks on entry, red fruit and barberry flavours, light to medium bodied. Aromatically and on the palate this is reminiscent to a Barolo with 30-40 years of age. Lighter, but very enjoyable.

Needed a decant to come together (approx 3hrs) a lighter more graceful pepe. Very old Barolo like. This was a library release with a 2014 cork.
