Tasted blind. Dark, purple scarlet and opaque in the glass. Notes of black fruit, dark earth and stone, spice, mocha and some volcanic ash kind of note. Nice and rich in the mouth. The volcanic ash note leads me to Cal Cab and I go with a 91 Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill guess. That’s happened before to me when blind tasting Gaja, although nobody else was in Italy with their guesses either. And maybe we're starting to get a bit polluted… 😏

Wow! Such a baby! So delicious though. Give this another 5 years and decant but delightful red fruit with plenty of structure left.

Just delightful. Perfect balance. I got lots of candied red fruits.

Another life changing wine for me. Dried herbs, fresh red fruit, so incredibly youthful.

Super youthful, mouthful of unresolved tannin. Really stunning and young. High times red fruit, orange, cherry, dried herbs, rose petal, peat. Really long lived. Gorgeous.
