Many have said to be weary of bottle variation, but this was incredible last night. Tasted with the importer here in Australia - Michael at Quelvino. Previously Coravin-ed bottle, so maybe why it didn't have the spritz everyone talks about.
So inky and meaty. The palate screams sour cherries with an array of spices and herbs. There's a richness imparted by some RS too, I feel. What stumped me the most was the finish - started of big and tannic, then evovles into this subtle drive that goes on and on. I'm guessing this is still too young, with such heavy fruit. Can't wait to try more of this.
Note: The cuvee came with analysis values, which showed good TA and pH for a red. Alcohol was in the low 13's and it was surprisingly dry (0.8 g/l if I recall) - could be fruit sweetness that I was tasting. The spritz mentioned is a common feature of the wines because they finish fermentation in bottle. The grapes used are mainly Croatina, Uva Rara, and Vespolina (also known as Oltrepò ughetta).

'02 Spätlese a basket of toast and cream, depth and length, weightlessness and intensity. RS ideally matched to what must be considerable TA. Rearranged my Riesling brain. — 7 years ago
Looking at this drop again. An interesting expression of Chenin. Definitely handled oxidatively. Straight out of the bottle, it tasted almost Jura like and as before, getting this whisky notes. Baked apple instead of quince. A nice minerality from start to finish. VA seems quite prominent after a while. Good to note that this was an excellent pairing with most Asian dishes.
Note: Analysis values
TA: 7.1 g/l
