Excellent example. Enjoying this. Great structure and sense of place. Sweet attack on the mid-palette. Tannins reverberate and are vibrant. Finishes with bitter cherry.

Exceeded expectations. Given vintage, and style of Corino winemaking, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this bottle came through. After a long decant, showed impressive typicity, clarity of fruit, balanced oak, fine tanin, nice finish. Glad I have 2 more.
