Dark cherries and cloves prevail on the nose, then you start to dig in into a very layered nose. Complex and broad spectrum.
On the mouth it is supple and creamy, mid palate is beautiful and rich. The closing is somewhat lifting and refreshing with rose and strawberry flavors overcoming the pleasant bitterness.
An excellent wine for the vintage.
It won’t be immediate. Bit it’ll be a nice surprise in the years to come.

This guy is blooming. Very fine and complex nose with indefinite notes but of ample bouquet. It enters serious in the mouth without missing any bit of intensity.
Actually gaining more and more focus the longer the aftertaste.
Literally a beautiful finish.
Linger and simply wow.
Just 96 because the intensity and the weight is not quite consistent but this is a gorgeous wine. — 9 days ago
