2010 vintage.
Light ruby with a pale garnet tinge.
Sparse slow legs, medium viscosity.
Aromatic, lifted nose of fresh and stewed red cherries, marasca cherries, bush garden flowers, roses, lavender. Myrtle and mediterranean garrigue after second oxigenation. Sweet spices end the nose impressions.
Dry palate, fresh acidity and elegant melted tannins support a medium persistent body, which confirm notes of wild cherries, warm soil and subtle spices.
Simple, uncomplicated and delicious.

I dig this guy. New leather, like unworn cowboy boots dominates the nose. There is some softness of rich forest floor and a whiff of vanilla. Delicate, easy, some umami. Brighter tartier berries like blueberry and blackberry. Would be good cologne.

Aromatics are lovely. Cherries, lavender, and spices that I'm not sophisticated enough to identify. The palate needed to evolve. As it opened its original austere was relaxed into a well balanced feller. Tannins were still a bit gripping overall.

割と滑らかで綺麗な果実味と酸。
ステンレス熟成で透明感のあって、火山性土壌らしいミネラルを感じる。
家事味は、カシスというより、ブルーベリーのニュアンスが強い。
そして最後には意外な程にペッパー。
複雑味はないが、直球感というか、素直な感じが良い。
スパイス感がカレーと合うかと思ったが、あんまりで、クミン系もあんまり。
トマトのラグーソースのパスタがぴったり。やっぱりアリアニコはそうなんだ。
