The 2010 Ravera is maturing beautifully, with a bouquet of dark yet lifted red fruit, pine resin, dried roses, smoke, mushrooms and undergrowth. On the palate, i found feminine textures with a mix of blackberry and cherry with a twang of orange zest, and fine grippy tannin. It finished structured, long, and full of potential.
