Grippy, with a beautiful backbone of Piemonte acidity and leathery tannins. Lifted, bright red berries. Superb. 78 weeks after Initial Coravin, this system really works.

Fantastic! Nose of caramel, licorice, dark fruit and earth. Flavors of black fruit, vanilla, herbs, earth. Medium to full bodied, it is young, so it needs some air to open up but your patience will be rewarded.

Really a food wine, had the acidic backbone and tannic structure to go with just about anything. Should have ordered in reverse tonight. It was pleasant enough, just not much of a sipper.
