Just opened: Potpourri, dried roses and violets, ash, tons of
Rock and earth with still medium intensity of aromatics. palate is very high acid with super fine sandy tannins, strawberry liqueur but dry, finishes with balsamic and bitter herbs. There’s a toffee/caramelized quality to it, without RS
After 40 minutes the wine is even better. Fruit took 30 mins to show, then became quite present with dry strawberries and a surprising freshness. After one hour it started going slightly downhill with lower aromatic intensity.
Incredible experience

FML. This bottles was siting amongst many, on a fireplace mantle in a small village in Piedmont, Sinio. Nearing the end of my visit I offered to buy this wine. She said 25 Euros. I said ok and we lived happily ever after. 15 minutes of absolute sensory bliss!
