Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

Intensity is the word
Not so focused yet maybe, but a lot going on
The fruit is a dark cherry, almost a plum
Violet, jasmine
Stewed chestnuts, soy sauce, ink, black pepper. Eucalyptus too, but not overwhelming at all
Semi dried tomatoes and oregano 😱😱
Mouth is still tight, on the hard side; tannin is there and the freshness too. Enjoyable, but if I find another bottle we could wait easily another ten years. Super long finish.
Altogether, it’s a YES🤙🏻
