Vigna Torre Bramaterra Riserva

The new Riserva from La Psigula. Stunning nose of deep cherry fruit. Mid season all the way, tar, leather, tobacco, and wow the leather. Like a horseback saddle. Palate is a real level up from the regular. Gorgeous tannins and unreal purity. Finish is forever. The mouthfeel and inner mouth aromas are top notch. Huge concentration and huge tannins but man are they ripe and silky. Now with air the mint on the nose is remarkable. It’s got that deep, feral Nebbiolo character. Just so dense and so wild. But also refined despite the sauvage. The spice and leather are so detailed. The palate does so many things at once that don’t seem possible. It’s supple, yet also has huge acid (21), It’s super silky and elegant yet has massive tannins that are so ripe. It’s a big wine but it’s also super nimble. My GOD, the leather horse saddle on the nose is incredible. Unreal palate saturation and this wine does two things at the same time. It’s enormous and nimble at the same time. It’s genius. The nose is just incomprehensible after 15 minutes open. A maelstrom of spice, leather, cherry and whatever else it decides it wants to be. Wow this is like an elite Barolo from 1985 or something. Insane!!!! The finish on this wine is ridiculous. Minutes. Sickness. Tannins are magic as is length of pure fruit. 9.8 now. Even better today. Nose has oolong tea aspects and incomprehensible depth. Palate is like the best Barolo you’ve never had. Juicy like nothing else. Literally insane.
