This is Garagiste’s private label but the cork gives away that this is from Davide Carlone, a really good Novarese producer. And it’s drinking superbly. So fragrant and complex, earth, tar, rich plummy and dried cherry fruit, a bit of spice. Even better in the mouth. Soft and so resolved, all manner of secondary and tertiary notes completing the remaining, still-deep, dark dried cherry fruit. Very concentrated flavors, contrasting with the somewhat lightish color. Forcefully long finish, with still a fair amount of soft tannin reminding. Nice acids. Superb.
