Very bright. Sweetness and candied violets with vivid cherry. Lovely balance but way too young. One for the future

Medium ruby , showing a little bit of development , slightly brick rim . Quite floral and aromatic at the start , ripe spiced cherry and plum, strawberry jam. Touch of anis . Round and quite sweet in the mouth , ripe spiced plums and strawberry, black tea. Quite nice refreshing acidity and slightly drying tannins . Falls off a bit on the finish , slightly light and short . Overall pretty good though does show a bit of warmth, reasonable complexity . Next day a bit more reserved , shows a deeper more meaty , menthol character , less sweet and better balance and length. Tasted on 15/08/2022

Beautiful drinking Giacosa that was floral & elegant showing red cherry, leather, sweet tobacco, licorice spice & rose petal. Fully mature that should drink well for many years

Kirsch, mission figs, dried roses, tobacco, leather, dried thyme, graphite, sandalwood, iron, bay leaf, allspice. Vibrant rounded acid, firm wide smooth velvet tannins, medium-full bodied, juicy-sati texture, lengthy smoky-pepper-spicy finish. Everything turned up and balanced. Decant for at least an hour before pouring.

Jan 26th, 2018Kirsch, figs, crushed roses, cigar, tar, leather, juniper berries, graphite, balsámico, thyme, anise, iron. Lively rounded acidity, deceptively full bodied, soft silky texture, mild smooth velvet tannins, long smoky-herbal-floral finish. Highly aromatic, balanced structure, at its peak. Blossomed elegantly from a difficult vintage varying in quality.

Rubis clair
Nez sur les fruit noire, l olive et note progressivement plus florales
Bouche dense mais délicate fraîche et pleine
Coeur de bouche ultra généreux mais frais
Finale enCore jeune et primaire dans son aromatique mais ultra délicate
Un vin tres accessible pour son âge et ultra prometteur par les arômes actuels
