  From a vineyard planted in 1939
  Warm earth on the nose.
  Very firm and concentrated but with some great fruit underneath.
  Full and warming. Showing really well now (though obviously no hurry).

  Visit to Castello di Verduno (Verduno): The 2015 is the house’s first release of a Rabajà-bas. Again, one year in large botti and one year in bottle. A step up on the 2013 Normale. An ethereal, intense, fine nose. Dark fruited, showing balsamico and smoky barbequed meats. On palate, very fruit forward. Dark cherries and blackberries. However, it pulls up a little short. One of our group noted that “the fruit is bigger than the tannin structure”. Perhaps it'll improve with more time in the cellar. Still, presently decent Cru.
