Visually atypical as very deep garnet, but ztrong visual indication of concentration coming on the palate. Still very fruit driven and solid roadwork on the nose. Lovely round mouthfeel, tannic at front of mouth. Really nice.

Dark garnet colour. Gorgeous, expansive nose of roses, sottobosco, truffle, sandalwood, prune, morello cherry jam, blackcurrant. Full-bodied, with mouth-coating tannins that are still very firm and replays from the nose. Long finish, 40-45s with more dark fruit/sottobosco notes. This needs a bunch more time in the cellar. So concentrated and rich, this will reward more time. Delicious regardless. Drink 2020-2025+.

Best decanted for one hour to open and allow the brilliant and soft flavours to blend. Medium tannins, subtle fruit and a medium finish allow this wine to be enjoyed by a variety of preferences. Lovely with a light meal, without overpowering.

On openning - Nose - Barolo fruit, abit tannic. 91 or 92. Palette - is quite drying. Sufficient fruit, some tannin, but very drying (astringent). No improvement after 1 hour or even on the 2nd day.
