Smoky and rich, offering dark berries and panfried herbs. Long and enveloping finish. Needs a few more years.

Still young with lots of fruit flavous upfront. Good acid level, depth and finish. Even better with a Pasta con Ragout dish.

Dark fruit, pretty resolved, extracted.... too much new oak for my taste.

10 years old and a baby. Very concentrated and extracted. A soy sauce note likely from the oak. I was a bit disappointed in this. I’ll hold the remaining bottle for another 3-5 years.

Brilliant effort...so rich and gorgeous. Loaded with energy and balance. Finishes long and bright. Mineral, herbs, and leather notes in spades, but effortless composition all around.
