Bought this one at an enoteca in a village at Etna’s northern slope a couple of weeks ago. It was just standing on the shelf, so I knew it might be a bit risky. It was really tight at first, but opened up somewhat after decanting. Ripe cherry, leather, licorice, but it’s past its time. If you’ve still got one, it’s time to drink it up!

In a good spot, rather tertiary, lots of spice and a nice tobacco note, but there's still a pretty tart cherry compote note to accompany all the complex non-fruit stuff. Tart and spicy finish. Very nice, definitely in its plateau, not sure it'll be worth following much longer, but who knows.

Medium ruby in colour with restrained aromas of floral/blossoms, interesting minerality, red fruit & faint oak. On the palate, medium bodied very tart red fruit, strawberry/red cherry, hint oak, floral, high acidity & unexpectedly high tannins. Finish is medium to long with tart berries & a somewhat earthy minerality. This is a very interesting, enjoyable wine that comes off tasting like a Nebbiolo with a background of Pinot Noir.

Var spent på om 8 år i kjelleren gav det jeg håper, og ja, vinen er flott modnet og helt nyedelig. Tydelig brun kant. Det er frukt tilstede, samt flotte avslepte tanniner som gir deilig matvin.
