Professional tasting note from Andrea Vestri: tasted on 16.4.2020 Glass choice: Egg SensisPlus Optics: Clarity: clear Intensity: Medium Colour: Bright cherry red Other observations: Fat, fast tears Nose: Cleanliness: Clean Intensity: Medium + Aromatic expression: Ripe fruit like: Cherries, pickled cherries, raspberry jam, juniper, almonds, vanilla, wood aromas, chocolate, liquorice. Taste: Sweetness: Dry Acidity: medium to medium + Tannin: (quantity) Medium + Tannin: (quality) Fine-grained, a little green. Still very pleasant on the palate Alcohol: Medium + Perceptible, but very well integrated. Body: Medium + Flavour intensity: Medium + Taste: Ripe sweet cherries, raspberries, cassis, fine wood, chocolate, light vegetable aromas(green pepper). Nutty aftertaste Other observations: Beautiful texture, mouth filling Finish: Medium + Overall impression: Quality: Very good Reasons for the evaluation: Very good balance acid/tannins and ripe fruit with a nice full body. The intensity is very good with a long finish. The wine shows a nice structure with fine but a bit unripe tannins. Nice and complex. It is noticeable that it comes from cool climate. Drinkable but still has potential Reasons for the evaluation:The fine and well integrated tannins, which however still show a little unripeness, indicate that the wine is already fun to drink, but could well tolerate a little more bottle maturity. As well as the ripe fruit and the distinctive structure make the wine durable and at the same time ready to drink.
