I decanted my Ucelliera, and I let it breathe for three hours. The 2015 is similar to the 2013, but perhaps a bit more full bodied. There is a fine layer of tannin and a fair amount of fruit. I sipped it over three evenings with consistent notes. I think that another two to three years would be helpful.

Bright red fruit, quite punchy with a layer of dusty earth, flowers, polished wood and anise. Ripe, young tannins with strong acidity and minerals; opened up materially since 2020. A warmer wine that needs a few more years to hit its peak.

Rich fruit and plenty of leather, tobacco and tea. Medium+ bodied and great length. Soft tannin holding things together, great stuff!
