Cherry and raisins along with a slight mineral note like pencil lead. This is very inviting. The palate is well designed with a good acid drive, a sweet mouthfeel with a big bright cherry note and a bit of raisins too. There is a big bold midpalate with a bit of a grain and that nice drying effect that disrupts a sweet mouthfeel. The finish is fruit forward with notes of raisins, along with that great drying effect. This is very well made.

May 2nd, 2021Remarkable. Rich baby Amarone. Red fruit, dried herbs, graphite, iron and dark chocolate. Smooth and multilayered.

Jun 26th, 2020Chocolate, raisins, cherry, pencil lead, this is a nice nose. The palate is good and well balanced. Very strong acid backbone with raisins notes and a wonderful cherry song that plays all along. Some width, some matter on the sides, tannins are almost sandy in texture and mouthfeel and kick of a nice cherry anf raisins finish that lasts for a while. This is not Amarone but this is pretty damn close to some I had. Oh and needless to say, it's very good!

I love this one! Raisins, cherry and a slight touch of pencil lead. The palate is exquisite. Some structure with an acid backbone that gives this palate a frame, some soft touches and roundness, raisins coming back here to add a sugary, sweet touch to a rather dry wine, no real tannins to speak of, and an everlasting finish with raisins and cherry. It shows very little complexity at first and then you understand how many layers there are. This is real good stuff

Aug 9th, 2019Baby amarone. Could have been better after a some. Air. Red berries, raisins, chocolate too. Nice nose. The palate is powerful, almost semi dry. Some tannins. Some nice layers of texture. An expending finish with red berries and raisins too. Very cool once again. I could have this every week

Feb 9th, 2019A bit of a barnyard, sewing touch at first. But then we get a nice small red berries scent and yeast, and bread, and black pepper. Nice nose. The palate is almost half dry. A splendid red berries patern all over the place, some huge acid backbone, not so much complexity but it goes still a long way past pointy tannins. A. Finish with small red berries which linger for a long time. This is really enjoyable.
