Just popped and poured. No sediment to speak of yet. Nose features intense mineral notes over fruit at present, almost verging on iodiney, with the dark pure cherry lurking underneath waiting for an opening. The palate is deep and nicely filled out, with the fruit showing up there. Terrific balance and intensity. Really nice. Will keep. 9.2 for now. Could go higher.

Mar 6th, 2026Really nice CC. Nose has loads of rich, dark cherry and minerally, savory notes. Richly-flavored for an annata, it’s got concentration with very nice balance. Medium acids and a bit of tannin for framing. Stylistically more like a Riserva, but without any noticeable oak.
