My second bottle in a short span. Same result. Dried cherries, red flowers, raw meat, briar and spices. Complete, round, juicy, quite intense and so well-balanced.
It's a wonderful Vittoria Rosso (hehe, someone stopped being Cerasuolo di Vittoria). Delicate, sophisticated and delicious. Dried cherries, red flowers, underbrush, raw meat, briar and warm spices. I love how every aroma is mindful of others, and nothing stands out. On the palate, it's still too young. It has a medium-full body. It's intense, juicy and well-balanced. Good potential. I'd love to open a bottle of this vintage in 5-10 years.
