Huge nose of dark black and red fruits, spice up the wazoo, tobacco, smoke, earth notes and tree bark. Unreal complexity and layering. Silky, sweet and so deep. Amazingly light on its feet for such a big wine with velvety, sweet and deep tannins. A brilliant and contemplative line. — a month ago

This freak show of a wine I have a soft spot for. Pure Tintillia from Molise. The nose is just crazy. Nuts, anise, blackberry syrup and fresh blackberries. So much to the aromas. They are so present. Not wispy. Mean, evil aromas. But you cannot look away. Pasolini liquified. Rich but fresh and has so much energy. Velvety tannins that gain substance with air. Chewy and dense but also somewhat light on its feet. Long finish and very fresh. Really intense. But also elegant. A wine of contrasts. Let’s see what air does. But a great wine despite my meandering review. — 4 months ago
