Valle d'Aosta Fumin

The 2019 Fumin embodies the soul of alpine wine, with a peppery array of sage, rosemary and mint giving way to rose petals and hints of camphor. It’s finessed yet full of life, cascading citrus-tinged red berries across a core of minerals and vibrant acidity. The 2019 finishes remarkably clean yet perfumed, with a lingering tension of sour berries. What a darling, but it will be best enjoyed served alongside a meal. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2022)

2012 vintage. Some serious swashbuckling intensity that evolved rapidly into a beautiful, long, smooth experience. Needs decanting and red meats

Fine nose, ok cork.... but palate like a fine vincotto. Unfortunate break down for the varietal, probably because of geography. Tannin still intact, but flat-lined and aceto infancy for this one.

Pleasantly funky. Wonderful dark color. Dark Cherry and cranberry fruit with a hint of black pepper spice. Very “Syrah-like” thick skinned Northern Italian grape. Great pairing with any dish that includes truffles. Awesome food wine. Very pleasant surprise! Revisited this one in October 2020. Getting better with age! Revisited again in February 2021. Still outstanding!

Фумин - дым.
В аромате богато тонами перца, подсушенной черники, чернослив, дымный тон.
Во вкусе яркое, молодое. Танины обволакивающие, сухое послевкусие, кислотность высокая (в пищеводе ощутимее). Пряности, темный шоколад и ягоды в послевкусии.
Пить позже. Молодое еще.

Super Fumin, hyper bien avec veau et chanterelles

Fruity but restrained, nice mouthfeel.

Яркие свежие темные ягоды, тон специй, конкретно гвоздики, еще цветы; тело легкое, при этом хороший баланс.
