(Decanted for one hour) Deep red colour with a maturing nose showing black truffles, forest floor and some fruity morello cherry in a delicious way. Nice on the palate with smoothing tannins and still focused on fruitful sweetness with a finish showing some dried herbs. (Best 2019-2029)

(Decanted for one hour) Deep red colour with a brick red hue and a mature nose showing truffles, cherry stones and minerals. Opens up with mint chocolate and some coffee notes in a delicious way. Smoothing tannins with tertiary fruit and some leather on the palate. (Best 2019-2029)

Good but not great. Strongish acidity not really counterbalanced by rich fruit. Won’t get much better, but will last for another 5-7 years. I hope I don’t have anymore of this, but no biggie if I do.
A good rich brunello (and I have plenty of these) is much easier to enjoy.
Added a point after 1 hr and with some iberico- the positive here is that it comes across as very fresh and elegant.

Ripe on the nose but on the young and tight on the palate with fairly severe tannins. Needs more time.

Clear light red. Very tight but concentrated nose. pencil shavings, berry fruit and tilled soil. Dry red fruit flavours and a very tannic finish.
May need more time but the dry fruit nose may give in to all of the tannins.
