@Delectable Wine this is the Roscaleto. Thanks!

This sadly is sold out by the time I tasted it as it’s only 680 bottles sold. Nose is deep and complex with incense, blackberry, intense minerality, leather, smoke, first base glove (new), just insane aromas. Palate is super concentrated but light as feather and has unreal fruit. Maybe the most elegant and balanced 15.5% wine I’ve ever had. Remarkable. Nose gets now into blackberry liqueur, some gamey meats, and a granitic/limestone minerality. So elegant, pure and concentrated with just absolutely thrilling fruit. Ripe but such tiny berry intensity.

OK this needed mega air as today it is insane. 9.4 to 9.6. Bonkers sweet fruit and finesse. Holy shit this is good.
