Such a phenomenal bottle of wine opened waaayyyy to early. With a few hours in a decanter though, magic happens. Would love to see this is 10 years.

Super charged and deep with abundant dark fruit, coffee and dark chocolate notes. Wild flavours here, which are untamed at present, so hands off please for another few years. Great, layered and persistent finish.

Dark fruit, black cherries and plums, herbal and spicy, still quite youthful and compact yet beautifully deep and layered. After aeration this wine opens up and a mysterious mixture of breadcrust, incense, humidor, leather and hoisin is added. Very complete in Its mouthfeel, balance, complexity and persistence.
Terrific stuff, distinguished and noble.

Wild stuff providing a funky edge to its dense and beautifully textured dark fruit flavors. Tannins are serious and still youthfully tight, this infant has palate cleansing acidity and an already integrated oak regime.

Very rich and ripe, just enough freshness and and acidity to balance. I have a sweet spot in my heart for Miani, always a treat.

2010 vintage. Never experienced it this wild and gamey. While aromatics could have been more pronounced, it sure impresses on the palate, and its finish is far from ready. Will for sure provide loads of satisfaction from 2018 onwards.

Fantastic but don't tell anyone as there is not enough to go around! If you don't know Miani you wouldn't like it. This is not the impressive unicorn you are looking for... move along

2012 vintage. Rich and almost decadent, this must be Enzo's most voluminous Rosso so far. Still closed and in need of extended air exposure, but there's lots going on here. According to the back label, I'm facing 15,5% here but that truly well hidden thanks to its dense core of fruit, sweet tannins and underlying acidity. Great finish, long and detailed.

2010 vintage. Painfully young and unevolved but showing great promise for the future. Tightly wound and high in acid, it's fruit hasn't really evolved yet and we're still waiting for it to flesh out. Refined and really long, this will be at its best from 2018.
