  디캔팅 1시간 필수임
  보르도 메를로에 산도와 스파이시함이 추가된 느낌 큰 인상은 못받아서 아쉬움

  What a pleasant surprise. This was my first Italian Merlot and it was delicious despite some of the ratings I reviewed. This is a great change of pace with notes of gravel, limestone, leather, pencil shavings, wild shrooms and black cherry. Decanted for an hour I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this wine given my palate generally gravitates to Napa. Looking forward to a vertical comparison with a back to back tasting of the 2016

  Still not great. Hold off drinking for another year.

  I was expecting a more generous full on wine. This had loads of structure and clearly there is plenty of fruit extraction but it fails to deliver a pleasing wine. Somehow hugely structured and monolithic. Perhaps this will expand with age. Short length, straightforward. Wait for 5 years? Perhaps forever.

  Complex bouquet. Layers of gravel, black fruits, earthy spices and a touch of leather and licorice. Palate echoed the nose. Elegant. Medium-bodied with good density. Smooth transition to a long and lingering finish. Still young even after 2 hours of decanting. Many of the finer elements are hiding behind the huge structure. 94-96 pts.
