it was a couple nights ago now, but i have fond memories. seem to recall a nice leathery spicey packaging of well-layered brooding fruitiness — a pretty serious effect.

A big step up on the nose from the Ciro, with fine slate, and red fruits with a touch of citrusy tanginess to tickle the nose. On the palate this is decent, still fairly tannic. Medium-bodied, with squarely reddish fruits, tanginess and a slightly savory soy sauce note on the palate as well. Interesting wine but not crazy about it, 86-88

Too young and needs decanting, but has hints of the very good wine it will become (the last sip was better than the first--dark, powerful, ripe red fruits, tobacco, volcanic ash)
