  Le vin émane un bouquet de fruits noirs macérés, d'épices fines, de bois noble. La bouche est soyeuse et complètement intégré, l'acidité donne de la vigueur, tout est en place. Termine sur une longue finale tactile, qui s'efface tranquillement en paliers... Une excellente bouteille!

  Complete, complex, super cherry and tannic. Wonderful and still really not mature.

  Insane quality- red fruit,
  tart cherry and smells like a wine 20+ Years! Tannins are integrated but will go for the years!!!

  This is starting to get into the zone. Pretty open, but not advanced yet, this seems to be at the beginning of its drinking window. Beautifully perfumed, with notes of smoke, cigarbox, tobacco, graphite, cedar wood, some dark and red cherries, plum, the oak has integrated nicely, there is also some leather and menthol kind of notes with some more air. It‘s medium-full bodied, with excellent persistence, it has medium+ but very silky tannin, there is pretty high acidity and just overall beautiful balance. Long finish with building complexity. An excellent Vigna del Sorbo of the highest level.
