Tasting notes
Aged two years in 500, 1000 and 3,000 l oak casks. This producer has apparently produced Riesling from the 2014 vintage. Pale rust red with orange notes at the rim. Warm, ripe Nebbiolo on the nose with real guts and development. This has come on quite a bit. Quite rich. A certain, not unappealing, vegetal note. (JR)

Treiso. Mature-looking mid ruby with orange rim. Closed and balsamic, yet promising. Hints of iron. Surprisingly sweet and ripe strawberry fruit, almost like this was harvested late? Intense fruit-driven finish with vanilla cream hints, integrated acidity and a layer of powdery tannins. Competently made and in need of more age. (WS)
Just mid ruby. Lifted red fruit nose and the merest hint of leather. Not enormously fruit driven, at least for the moment, and with a firm tannic finish. (WS)
