Fresh
rose petals, citrus, walnuts and red berries. Medium to full body, ripe and
succulent tannins and a medium-chewy finish. 92pts Suckling
Delicate nose of candied cherry, earth, and
walnut. The palate suggests more earth and subtle tones of mushroom, bone
broth, and leather. The fruit is more dried cherry with a hint of cassis.
Savory with a hint of orange zest, cloves, and cedar spice, it’s got tea-like
tannins building on the mineral drive on the long and spicy finish. A Barolo to
enjoy soon versus cellar for the long term. This is priced to stock up and to
savor along with hearty braised dishes. Drink now - 2027.
