Magnificent.

Nose is so floral. Maybe just a hint of richness underneath it.

Palate: delicious. Orchard fruits. So expansive aromatically. Almost escapes the mouth. Vibrant. Mineral. So long. Rich as it opens. Citrus fruits as it opens.

More savory with air. Crazy. A perfectness.

The finish is a fucking symphony. So long. So salty. Savory. Bright. Mineral. Jesus ! All in perfect harmony. Wow. Just wow.

Nose dense. Lilacs. Perfect late season cherries if such a thing existed. Savory.

Palate: so so dense but elegant. Cocoa. Savory. Long.

This is likely better than a 9.6. But it’s coiled.

So so so so long.

Needs an hour decant.

Then a wine of perfection.

Think arpepe Riserva.

Think Burlotto Monvigliero.

One of the great wines of Italy. No one knows about it.

If you know. You know. Nuff said.
