  Decanted for an hour, perhaps not enough but still, it has a soft flowery nose, again with the roses, vanilla, and perhaps some herbality, mint? On the palate, red fruit, strawberries, tar, minerals, cheeky tannins, again pepper in the finish. With more time in the decanter, more tar, evergreen, and ash emerged in the midpalate expression. A softer more tannic echo of '20 Castello di Neive Santo Stefano, but at a fraction the price, it is an excellent value! Tonight with spicy grilled elk tenderloin wild rice, and sauteed vegetables. 91/92

  Med ruby colour
  Pronounced nose of red fruit, savoury slate mineral
  Med+ acidity, high tannins
  Palate of cherry, raspberry, savoury, tertiary mushroom
  Great complexity but just ok balance
