Dense, youthful purple. This has plenty of life left and may have been opened too early. Aromas with air show a black cherry, bitter almond and cherry pit. The palate is equally tannic as nebbiolo but offers a fleshier texture, perhaps due to the anthocyanin content. Having been lucky enough to meet a scion of the winemaking family this week I understand that they expect that this wine will be able to age for at least a decade.

Light on its feet with perfumed dried flowers wafting out of the glass - fresh tart rhubarb and red berry compote. Stunning wine. Exotic spice keeps you coming back for more. Structured enough for just about anything you could put on the table.

Dry, leather on the nose. Bouquet of light fruit.
