Even at age 9, it needed 2 hrs decant to soften rough edges and round out a strong licorice note. But as it opened up it balances beautifully. Black cherry fruit with hints of violet and anise, a little wet stone with medium dusty tannins and medium acidity. Very nice.

Molto Bene Nota Bene! (Vino Loco & Lolo's Seaside Tasting Lodge): Part of eight vintage vertical. This was probably the best aged wine of the bunch. Lovely nose of mature red and dark red fruit with a hint of balsamic and salted liquorice. That combo transfers well to the palate. Medium bodied and elegant but a note of restraint. Medium finish. Tied for 2nd amongst the group. Kinda of the type of wine you stop thinking about and start enjoying. Drink up!

Goes good with perogies and spicy Italian sausage. Still has some, but not much, time to age. Driink sooner than later.

Always delivers. I note the significant price jump in the 2019 vintage, Pelham estate making their mark. ;^(
