Wood and earth notes. Mushroom notes even. Some flower notes showing through. Touches of vinilla back a tangy spice note. Overall smooth and easy while still having body amd spice.

Jun 18th, 2023All I can say is that it is amazing! And at about $48 here, it is probably 15 or 20 at a grocery store. Not bad at all!

Tobacco, wood, and leather on the nose. Dark spice notes ---allspice--- with vanilla bean on the palate followed by a hint of light mushroom and terroir. There are some light tannins that open up with a bit of time.

Beautiful. Lots of fruit but finishes like rustic Italian wine. Dry and abrasive tannins subside to more palatable flavors.

2011 vintage
Вначале кислотность и танины чуть агрессивны, но со временем выравниваются. В носе сквозят ежевика, белый перец, средиземноморская зелень, сухая земля, жареные грибы. Во вкусе вступают черные ягоды, вишневая косточка; в развитии розовая черешня и эвкалипт. Проблесками мерещатся цветы. Среднее тело. Не слишком глубоко при первом знакомстве, но свежо и тонизирующе. Лучше пить чуть охлажденным.

After about 90 minutes started to show some good spice. Very dry, very dark, very chewy.
