Blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Croatina with 36 months on oak, this is a beast! The grapes from this monster are hand picked from the top three cru's then dried for 6 months. Then to top it off they bottle age the wine for another 8 months. This wine will sit for 15 years but has the potential to last another 10+ years after that.
With a color that looks like iodine and nothing but pepper and spice with loads of tobacco and a hint of latakia, this thing blows your nose away. On the palate she was exploding with life and rich tannins. Balance and acidity were perfect as she put this thick layer of dark tree fruit all over your mouth. On the finish she lasted for another 45 seconds but not before she spit a little more spice at you then softly went away. This is why I love wine!
