  baking spice, red currant, olives on the nose; firm acid and tannin, fruity on the palate, great potential but needs some bottle age to settle down

  Dinner at Bellyhappychef: Not the best bottle - slightly pushed cork that was soaked through. I like VA and high-toned fruits but even this was a little too much for me. Definitely showed the heat of the vintage with the alcohol persisting on the palate, and the tough tannins made it quite difficult to drink. On the second day the tannins softened with more evidence of the pretty red fruits that I associate with the producer, but the alcohol was still protruding.

  Post Sat wine swap sharing. 24 hrs of air already. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of tertiary earth, dusty stones, dark sour plum, dried sour red cherries, leather, dried leaves and fallen rose petals. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of old leather, tertiary earth, dusty stones, sour red cherries, dark red plums, sweet tea leaves. Long rumbly grippy finish.
  Good quality. Seems to have matured early, or maybe off bottle? Clunky and feels alcoholic.

  Couleur assez claire (c'est usuel chez Sandri), nez floral, fumé, délicatement épicé, menthe, tabac, assez proche des nez des Barolos de Serralunga, attaque franche et fruitée, orange sanguine, bouche très délicate, équilibrée, tannins présents mais assez souples, vin parfaitement équilibré, plus sur le fruit et la fraicheur que sur la puissance, offre beaucoup de plaisir aujourd'hui déjà même si la trame de ses tannins laisse entrevoir un développement prometteur

  better on night two but still not enough Monforte depth or any other worthwhile attributes. Tough to imagine this improves
