One hour in the decanter. Lots of sediment. Cork removed by a Durand and still in good condition. Umami and tar while it gained volume and mouthfeel in the glass over the next hour. Savory and delicious. 🤤 — 13 days ago

What a wine, so fresh, juicy, harmonious and elegant. This will evolve nicely and gain even more complexity. 97++ — 18 days ago

Arpepe is like Valtellina cheat code. Nose is ripe but reigned in and just gorgeous. Stunning ripe mid to late season cherry. Spice, smoke. So elegant and subtle. I know this will unfurl as the night goes on. Insanely pure and complex tar notes. Just so vivid. Beautiful. Palate is stupid wonderful. Sweet, succulent and supple. So fresh. So much energy and preposterous length. My goodness the delicacy here is Bartolo level. Elite roses now on the nose. Overpowering. Sickness. Amazing mouthfeel. Haunting, intense and delicate. Wow. The balance is incredible as is the finesse. Wow. I’m speechless. Maybe best arpepe I’ve ever had. The tannins are just so fine. — 3 years ago

Pretty similar colour to the Bartolo , medium deep garnet core , slightly less terracotta at the rim. Porcini mushrooms , sous bois , dried meat , really quite complex. On the palate more mineral , but with a strong meaty , porcini mushroom note , then with blueberry , blackberry . Very fine but present tannins , lovely balanced acidity . Long and really refined . With time in the glass shows well , but will improve over the next 5 -8 years and continue on a further 10 at least — 2 years ago
