  From mag that I brought to a birthday party - was a crowd pleaser. Drank over the course of 45-60 min, limited notes. Nose had the right touches of sweet/candied black fruit, spice/smoke & graphite/crushed rock. Very well balanced, rolls a spiral of acid and tanin down your tongue. Black fruit, red cherry, pencil shavings, wet rock.

  Farge: Rubinrødt med lilla baktone
  Duft: Morken ved
  Smak: Morken ved, umodne tanniner. Åpner seg etter hvert og viser seg å være riktig fyldig. trenger minst 2-3 år til
  Dag 2: Bekrefter inntrykket fra igår.

  Staff picks (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Cream, cherry, over dried flowers and herbs, slight oxidative notes and touches of new oak. In the mouth it's juicy with slightly drying but plentiful over savoury cherry and cream. Exceedingly long. Lovely. Compelling.

  Here I found a bouquet of dark red fruits, accentuated by rich spice and tobacco tones. On the palate, I found beautifully balanced, rich textures with a contrast of refined tannin. Deep red fruits prevailed into the finish, along with a hint of licorice. The ‘12 San Giovanni shows excellent intensity and balance for the vintage.
