Tasted blind . Medium garnet , more terracotta rim . More closed on the nose , some sweet cherry and cedar , orange rind and touch of anise . This is again quite fresh on the palate , some cherry and cedar , cut herbs , anise . Pretty grippy tannins . Reasonable length with good strawberry , raspberry , liquorice tinged finish . Needs a little more time , better in a couple of years and will last well a further 5-10. — a month ago
Been waiting a long time to open this baby. When first obtained it was completely closed and almost undrinkable. Aromas have fully opened, like sweet flowers and a hint of caramel. Tannins are waaay softer, durable but give nice structure to the wine. Blackberry, oak, medjool dates. — 2 days ago

Transparent cherry red. 3 hours decanting, still solid. But getting showing up it’s power. Good black fruits aroma. Elegant 20 @13000, A Novello, 250228 — a month ago
Garnet medium intensity. Herbs, spearmint, fossils on the nose. Dry, medium plus alc, medium plus acidity, medium bodied. Sour cherry, herbs, on the palate. Tannins are chalky and drying. Long nice finish. This will of course greatly improve. But certainly drinkable now.

Medium Ruby color with a bouquet of fruit, herbs and floral notes, aged for 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of herb pepper, floral and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, good balance with fine tannins ending with earthy nutty notes and mineral character. — a month ago
