April BYO (Bodø, Norway): Nose with blackcurrant, dark fruit, and hints of coffee. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied, with little fruit and hints of coffee. I suspect a suboptimal bottle.

Full flavored and still drinking extremely young. Lots of tannins. I feel that its best is still years ahead. I'd decant 3 hours at a minimum and not rush through it. I think it will be spectacular at it's peak drinking window.

Sit down tasting, double blind. Mature black cherry throughout, lots of acidity for the level of remaining fruit. Not surprised it was unveiled as from Italy, but very surprised it was not even ten years old.

Blackcurrant vanilla tobacco on the nose. Soft smooth tannins on the palate. 93-94
Should decant for 3-5 hours
