Gattinara

There are wines you just want to come back to, and luckily, some good people manage to store these beauties. This wine is amazing. Once again, it appeared much younger, defying what's written on the label.

Beautiful wine, fresh, delicate, and seductive. Notes of cherry, briar, blood, red flowers, earth, tarf, and some mushrooms. Unexpectedly juicy, flavourful, soft, and persistent. It's like a dream after a long day.

As good as always. No one guessed the vintage, as it feels so much younger. A beautiful bouquet full of cherry, briar, blood, red flowers, earth, tar and mushrooms. Medium-plus body, well-balanced, well-structured, sophisticated and beautiful. Every bottle is a pleasure.

The last time I tasted this wine was more than a year ago. On one hand, I am happy to lay my hands on this vintage one more, on the other hand, I don't understand why it's still available considering its price and value. Delicate bouquet: red flowers (like rosé), blood (hey baby, we like your iron), cherry, briar and some tar notes (probably from the age?). Oof, and it's so well-balanced and structured! With mature tannin, good acidity and a long aftertaste, this wine is simply delicious.

Wine #8 on volcanic wines tasting by Oleksandr Meier.

My first Gattinara and definitely not my last. Forest berries, raw meat and truffles. Subtle and sophisticated nose. Refreshing, well balanced, very long evolving aftertaste, flavours of wild strawberry, cherry and wet leaves. Over time it becomes more tough and heavy.
