Shy and closed aromas at first, but shortly opens up with some aeration with an enchanting, vivid and highly complex approach. Dried strawberries, red cherries, mint, blood orange, bitter orange and a controlled volatile - incense like lift. With a steely minerality and an earthy canvas
A high acidity and pronounced tannins which grasps the gum upon entry before spreading across the cheeks with drying texture that surrounds and is balanced by good fruit concentration with a strong and evolving mid palate through a complete finish that is closing with a sweet red fruit profile despite being a bit tart and rowdy upon entry. Day 2 and it’s taken on a more rounded and welcoming profile.

Fresh acidity and pronounced, yet approachable tannins with a powdery texture that surrounds a concentrated fruit intensity with a long and expansive finish. A little marvel, a bargain. So approachable today yet will age forever.

I was a bit underwhelmed by this one, and it may have been a slightly off bottle. The fruit on the nose came and went with time. Cherry sour punch straw candies, flowers(more violet than the typical rose), and a bit of the earth/tar nebbiolo is known for on the palate with a bitter/phenolic character on the mid palate.
Color holding up surprisingly well. Plenty of acid and resolved soft tannin.
