  Drinking well now, but will be fine for 4 or 5 years.

  Очень светлое, гранатовое, прозрачное. В аромате красные ягоды, яблоко, цедра апельсина, гвоздика, красный перец, дерево, цветы, корица, сухая трава, лакрица, копчёности. Во вкусе среднее тело, высокая кислотность, убористые танины. 92/100

  Lots of black cherry, tar, and and some anise on the nose.
  
  Lots of black fruit, dried herbs, and some cassis on the palate.
  
  Long finish which is bright, acidic, and full of fruit. Very nice.

  Pale ruby in colour.
  Medium plus intensity on the nose. Aromas of orange peel, sour cherry, red date, red roses, red plum. It’s developing.
  Dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity, lovely savoury tannins, balanced and delicious, seductive umami characters, medium plus finish. Bottle decanted over the night, the wine expressed charming mushroom, truffle and become more expressive and elegant on the palate. On a blind tasting, I probably would mistake it as a aged Barolo. Absolutely beautiful.

  Opened with a funk of cork on the nose, some kind of reduction? The wine wasn’t corked on the palette and resolved into a balanced brunello within an hour or so. Medium structure and finish. Subtle tobacco and mushroom(?) showing age balancing the dark cherry fruits. Fine tannins.
