Elegant and enchanting as always...I think I prefer Bosconia in this vintage for its soaring red fruit and herbal aromatics and perfect synthesis of sweet, savory, floral and rustic elements.

Wow, this really blew me away. Upon opening, lots of tertiary aromas - cedar, leather, rich earth - which gave way after decanting to a beautiful and pure fruit expression. Wild raspberries & ripe red cherries, both a touch funky, crunchy and mineral. Baking spice, dried leaves, and some green steminess are there too. Great fruit-driven acidity with integrated silky tannins. Drinks like something much much younger than it’s 13 years. I’m there with people who are saying this is Burgundian. Elegant and complex, will definitely be grabbing some more!

Nothing to complain about here. Structure, balance, and more life ahead. Drinking beautifully with filet mignon or on its own. Tobacco and leather meet earthy, stewed fruit and ripe tannin.
