See previous note: A bit more restrained than previous bottle, nose more mute…
However…a sip after a taste of Asado Negro( Bottom round in a sweet-sour onion sauce) ba boom! Bitter oranges, mint, oak, sous-bois. It has that tomato rubbed leather couch thing.A needle in a haystack find @ WTSO. Nice savory, almost salty quality. It rides that red/brown edge. I’m sure a few more years would be nice.

Mar 24th, 2023N: a bit alcoholic after a 1/2 hr decant. But, Smoke and tar. Definitely some earth. Lots of tarry, Sangiovese depth. Mint.
P: Lots of tannins up front, not obtrusive, black cherry compote, cherry liqueur, some wood but probably old wood, nice acid balance.dusty and dirty.
A @wtso bargain.

Great from the first drop. On opening very drinkable with slightly grippy tannins, juicy acidity, and a pleasant spicy melange of dark berries, tobacco, fig, & undergrowth. Peaked balance when tannins softened a bit at about 2 hours. Held strong day 2. Glad I bought a few.
