Mature now and great. Bordeaux meets brunello. No rush.

Outstanding wine. Deep and intense cherry fruit. Rich. Just gorgeous. Long. Glad I have more! I think I want to try this against some really good Brunellos.

16/20 (89/100) В первом носе сильны тона кожи и вяленого мяса; в развитии проявляются вишневое и кизиловое варенье, шоколад и немного гвоздики. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и густыми, мягкими, «ватными» по текстуре танинами. Спелые красные ягоды и кожа во вкусе. Фруктовых ароматов вину недостаёт, не хватает ощущения свежести и баланса во вкусе.
