Very tight. If I had another bottle 2006, at this stage of ageing I’d wait a few more year to open it.

Pomegranate opener, then alarm bells, then capiscum, soil, and a sledgehammer finish - cascade of velvet.

What an awesome, massive Cab Franc from Italy. Totally unexpected and enjoy every drop.

Another bottle brought to Mailalino in the Gramercy Park Hotel ($30 corkage fee). Rich in color with some earthy and dark fruit notes, paired well with pasta.
