As an old friend might say, gorgeous. Such silky fruit. Modernist done right. Drinking so well now, but has a long life ahead of it.

Oct 27th, 2019Lots of life left here at 15. Let it breathe (no decanter) for 2 hours, definitely could have decanted as the second glass was much more opened up. Drinking well now but can do another 7-10 at least as there was still good fruit.

Magnum
И́рис, мятая малина, земляника, вишнёвый сок, намёки на подлесок и цветочные стебли, земля, сухая кора, кожа, дёготь. Сочные, сладкие ягоды аккуратно спрятаны в достаточно закрытой, стянутой структуре вина с заметной кислотностью и чуть деревянными, сушащими танинами. Пить можно уже сейчас, хотя вино ещё молодо и напряженно, требует воздуха и времени, а лучше более длительной выдержки. Мускулисто, но не глупо, с хорошей глубиной.

A lighter style Barolo. Not impressive but solid with steak.

To jammy for me at the first sip, it's well made wine but for me to sweet

Great wine. Very elegant and delicate. Only negative thing I could point out is its warmth. If you like strong and elegant wines then it's the perfect choice!
