Pretty similar colour to the Bartolo , medium deep garnet core , slightly less terracotta at the rim. Porcini mushrooms , sous bois , dried meat , really quite complex. On the palate more mineral , but with a strong meaty , porcini mushroom note , then with blueberry , blackberry . Very fine but present tannins , lovely balanced acidity . Long and really refined . With time in the glass shows well , but will improve over the next 5 -8 years and continue on a further 10 at least — 2 years ago
Not a huge fan of the style, but this was executed well. “Port lite.” Paired very well with roasted pork. — 4 months ago
Tannic forward and bold. Ruffino. Like Ruffalo in Poor Things, “shuck, chuck and bubble.” — 9 months ago

One hour in the decanter. Lots of sediment. Cork removed by a Durand and still in good condition. Umami and tar while it gained volume and mouthfeel in the glass over the next hour. Savory and delicious. 🤤 — 15 days ago
