Young and fresh from the glass with black cherry, cranberry, roses and poppy. Great vintage holding up phenomenally! Black and bing cherry palate with soft,textural black olive, bright raspberry, lingonberry and catalyst salinity. Juicy! Great acidity makes this seem so young in every way, the only hint is a slight fade to brick, but mostly unvarying rim to rim.

Deep Rubywith aromas of red fruits, complex spice and flowers notes. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with orange zest, cacao and tobacco leaf notes. Structured tannins, nicely balanced ending with mineral and earthy notes on a long finish. Very Nice! Tasting Sample.

Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, black plum, still some leather and wood with a mineral finish. Fruit is starting to resolve but I'd give it another 3 years before opening.

Cheesy funky nose, mild palate. Easy drinking.

Ah, ethereal Brunello. Total baby but still great. The hills of Montalcino behind it didn't hurt!

Чуть пустовато, чай, красные ягоды. Во вкусе немножко творожных ноток. Средне. 15.5/20 (88/100)

Сырковая масса, ваниль, пряности, красные и черные ягоды, корица, кардамон. Во вкусе те же вишня и корица, просто, танинно. 15/20 (84/100)
