Plum, cocoa powder, black currant, wild herbs, cedar, structure. Nose is intoxicating. A very refined version of Bordeaux from Italy. Amazing.

This wine definitely needs a few years to soften the firm tannins. An impressively structured wine that has clear pedigree. Complex and evolving through its long finish. definitely recommended

For a wine so young, this opens up quite well. Dark plum, blackberry and bitter dark chocolate. Ripe, modern and polished.

Incredibly powerful, jammy, smooth yet a handsome amount of tannins. INCREDIBLE!

Open early. Dark fruits and vanilla. Got trace amounts of green pepper in its evolution in the glass.
