She takes a while to open up, but when it happens, the intense rubbing alcohol dissipates and the beautiful flora notes slowly start to come out. Berry driven, supple tar, nice spice, tight tannins, tobacco. Another 5-8 years will do wonders for this vintage that is beginning to show the velvety texture of nice Barolo.

Paired very nicely with tonight's gnocchi with chicken liver, mushroom and pork sausage.

Bright, silky tannins that whet the whistle for another sip! Gamey on the nose, with a hint of eucalyptus to freshen things up!

Very aromatic with rose petals, smoke and tar on the nose. Could use more time in the bottle to flesh out or a nice veal chop to smooth out the tannins and temper the acidity.
