Aromas of blueberry pie upon first opening and checking bottle. After 5 hours decanting, nose evolves into tightly wound notes of creme de cassis, licorice, kirsch, pencil shavings, and Asian spices. Comes across just a tad hot on the nose, even at cellar temp...not a big knock, just has a touch of a tincture alcohol extract quality.
Very plush palate, round supple and mouthcoating tannins.

A little over hyped. Nice deep purple color. It did get better with time in the glass. Enjoyed, but had bigger expectations. Will wait until 2021 to try remaining bottles

Good solid bottle but loses points when adjusted for value.

Good bottle but I like regular Amici better. This reserve was not worth the hype
