Let sit for 1,5 hrs. Bricky red. This wine sang after initial barnyard nose. Minor tannin allowed for full integration of the cherry, leather and graphite notes . One left will drink soon

Opens with a really remarkable texture and mouth feel, which in about thirty minutes or so is overcome by an astringent note, which endures. Not up to, for example, an above average 2013 in terms of richness, weight and finish,, but nevertheless a strong statement on the quality (and very high priced) wines Chiarlo produces in better quality vintages.

Brief notes from memory. Took a few hours to open up and gained volume on day 2. Not outstanding but a good example of the appellation.

Needs at least an hour to open up. Could stand another year or two.

Perfumed with red cherry aromas, nice balance, red cherry flavours and with integrated tannins.
