Medium Ruby with fragrant berry fruit, spice and floral notes. On the palate loads of fruit flavors; cherry, raspberry and dried fruits with cedar spice and notes of pepper, lively acidity with mineral feel. Fine tannins, medium+ savory finish ending with a fruit, tobacco and mineral character. Nice!

Love their single vineyard Burgundian model. This one close to the coast, 300m, sandy soil.

It’s incredible, this wine doesn’t look like it’s aged a day since I first tried it 9 years ago at the winery. A deep purple color in the glass that barely fades at the rim. The nose is soft and pure brunello, dusty earthy notes of sour cherry, anise sand a touch of dried porcini. The palate shows wonderful structure and acidity for 15 years of age. Rich fruit notes with notes of dark earth lead to dusty, drying tannins. The finish seems everlasting with acidity dancing on the tongue along with a hint of spice. I really do wonder how far this would have gone. Wonderful wine!

Tannins galore. Perhaps one year past peak, but smooth and very enjoyable. 7/5-2022 [Philipson Wine]

Not my favorite vintage from this producer but still a nice wine. Some bright color starting to turn more rusty.
