Drinking wonderfully now but could easily sit several more years in a cool cellar and improve even more. Nose takes a little time to open up but develops beautiful scents, with an initial whiff of camphor, followed by very pure macerated wild cherry, classic rose petals, a little rich mahogany furniture. Nicely linear and concentrated in the mouth, still quite a bit of soft tannin present, surprisingly nice acids. Great balance. I’m sipping it by itself while braising a pork loin Neapolitan style, and can’t wait to drink this with the meal.
