1hr+ decant. Dark maroon color. Nose is very unique with massive olives and prunes. Wine has mammoth depth with more olives, prunes, chocolate, and subtle oak. Medium plus finish and awesome texture. Very CDP like, which isn’t my style. Some cohort will find this amazing, so selling my other two bottles. — 3 years ago
@delectable Quarantadue means 42 in Italian. This is the 45 which is quarantacinque. There is another wine called quarantadue 42 but this is not it.
For those of you who are not drinking rattalino you are missing out big time. This is one of the more mammoth wines. Nose is black cherry tar and a hint of rose. Super complex. Palate is just starting to shift from young vibrant fruit to darker fruit with leather. Still has great balance. Long. Grippy. Great structure. A big dense wine but a balanced one. Some rose juice on the finish. Wow. Bought from fass selections. — 6 years ago
Oh man! Big woolly Chenin nose. Wow. Electric Kool Aid with wool electric cut. Wow. A mammoth electrified. Some almonds, Meyer lemon as well. Super refined and elegant nose. So clean. Wow. Just Rieslingesque Chenin. Palate is immaculate. Perfect texture, balance and lithe concentration and almost a tannic impression on the back end. So sappy and pure. Brilliant finesse. Wow. This is drop dead. Super wine. Wow. Has 10+ years to go. Super lemony and no lack of acid. Long long finish. Dynamite. — 2 years ago

@Delectable Wine - This is the Halbtrocken. Color looks like permafrost-preserved wooly mammoth piss. In a good way. Unique style to say the least. Nose has loads of tart green apple, a sprightly herbal note, and pungent crushed stone. Very dry for a Halbrtrocken. Zingy acids and a flume of minerality. Amazingly youthful. — a year ago
