Exuberant nose of roses, lavender, herbs, mid season cherries and an apothecary vibe. Gorgeous. Palate is very juicy with wonderful cherry fruit and classic burly vespolina tannins. Medium bodied and a nice substantial structure. Sappy and super pure. Wonderful. Lasting. Acid, freshness and energy on point.

Il Chiosso 16 Vespolina - sick nose. Violets, florals galore, pastille, lavender, red dark cherries, minerals, spice. Juicy and elegant with cranberry fruit and dark cherries and lively rustic charm.

UPDATE : significant improvement overnight. More put together and tamer. Lovely wine. Juicy. Went from 8.9 to 9.0

Nose was very expressive going into the decanter, under-ripe tart cherry, raspberry juice, rose.

Palate has Bing cherry, plum, flowers and a nice bite of acidity.

The bottle is generally a little tight, likely we'll do single glasses tonight and revisit tomorrow.

100% Vespolina aged in concrete, no wood influence.

24hr Update: Palate is just slammin bright cherry, like this is a totally different wine.
