RS Venezia Giulia Merlot - Pignolo Blend
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
I had read some rather foreboding reviews of this online. Lo and behold they were correct—seems to have wild amounts of VA…and brett too. Basically not potable. I have liked the whites/orange wines from Radikon I had previously but this is not for me.

RS is raw elegance, not quite the wild spirit of Slatnik. An aromatic trip with two keys, sequential amplitudes, each time you go in, on repeat.
The basic level is bing cherries, prune, game, and brown leather. Some chauffeur, maybe alcohol, lifts this to a more interesting, brighter red strawberry, cedar, rose petal, acetone profile.
Elegant, concentrated integrated post nasal happenings too. Soft texture wraps and protects against high acid chalky minerals, grippy tannins. Dried strawberry plumb finish.
