Popped and poured; consumed over two hours. A slightly turbid garnet color in the glass. The nose is among the most fascinating that I have experienced in a long while. A remarkable mix of balsamic (there is considerable VA in this bottle), scorched earth, blueberries, tomato leaf, heather, Cherry Jolly Rancher, tree bark, Skinos Mastiha and pepper salami. On the palate, this continues to surprise with Black Cherry War Heads, blood orange, and leather. Super duper dry. Structure for dayz. medium+ tannin; medium+ acid. In rather typical Bea fashion, this is a wild wine and not for everyone. The VA was at the upper limit for me but that can sometimes be the case considering his methods. Still, Paolo Bea’s wines provide an experience like no other. Bottle No. 0129 of 6933. — 4 years ago
