Quite volatile. Raspberry fruit punches through. Sweet impression. Green wood

Atypical. A big, extracted Valpo. But it’s pretty good. Nose has dark berries, almond paste, a moist, humus-like note, and some turned soil. Mouthfilling, with a broad, textured feel, it’s got some baker’s chocolate notes to go along with the dark fruit and some surprisingly savory, almost minerally, notes. A bit of tacky tannin in the finish.

UPDATE: Night 2 this wine seems much more integrated. Still big but the mouthfeel is softer and the finish has the nice bitter almondy thing I like in good Valpos. Upping from 8.8 to 8.9

ドメニカに持ち込み。上品な熟成感、嫌じゃない青臭さが不思議。

サーロインの炙りカルパッチョ、トリュフの香りに負けてない。
それなのにフルボディほど重く無い。2015年

Decided to break out a good one for a Saturday afternoon. Complex and smokey. Found at arrow wine last year.

Välgjord och elegant Valpolicella, kraftfull men ändå balanserad. Frukten kommer fram fint utan att faten tar över
