Not their best effort, but no slouch either. Vittore may not have taken over or found his legs at this point. Faint, but very pleasant aroma of baked black cherries, pine needle compost, spice, tobacco and pressed flowers. Palate is medium-bodied with good density. Still fresh, this is certainly fully mature and on the back end of the curve, but still fresh and inviting. Drink now. 90

Similar to previous note. This is over the hill. That is at least in part due to sub-optimal storage conditions (seasonal temperature fluctuation, average temp mid-upper 60s).

Was really stinky and not in a good way. Feels over the hill.

Ruby red that fades into a beautiful brick rim. Earthy, leathery, mushroomy. Silky tannins and high acidity.
