Nose is showing age. Truffley, porcini, aged mashed cherries, tar and wet earth. Really earthy, primal and feral but still well put together. Swamp-Thing in a tuxedo. Palate is silky and sweet and intermingled with those aforementioned truffles and mushrooms. But bright cherries, high acids and powdery but effusive tannins counteract the feral. Excellent.

Awesome vivid mid season cherry. Fresh hay. Gorgeous earthiness. Very detailed and vivid nose. Palate is juicy and energetic with huge mid palate cherry fruit almost sweet tart mid season cherries and a long complex finish. Big furry and refined tannins that sweeten out on the finish staining your palate with sappy cherry fruit. Great stuff.

Superb wine. Nose of spice, tar, roses, fresh sawdust, sour cherries and mid season cherries. Gorgeous open and mesmerizing aromas. Palate is gorgeous. Concentrated and so juicy with a wonderful spherical quality and such purity. Mid season cherries and such wonderful freshness and length. Really great length. Stunner.

Lovely elegant plumminess. Really great mouthfeel. Hint of spice. ... as this aerated spicy roses on the nose. Marsetti is really talented. Bought from fass selections.
