Compared to the younger Langhe, this wine is more perfumed and developed, offering a captivating array of aromas: sour cherry, red flowers, hibiscus tea, tar, blood, and a hint of dust. On the palate, it's impressive, with powerful tannins that are well-balanced despite its youth. There are flavors of coffee and a subtle metallic note. The finish reveals a pleasant sweetness, though overall, it still feels a touch too green. Nonetheless, it remains stylish and serious鈥攁n intriguing wine with promise.
This is definitely a fantastic wine, albeit quite young. It's densely packed, tense, and complex. Thanks to the decanter, there's much to uncover here. The nose offers notes of sour cherry, red flowers, hibiscus tea, tar, and blood. On the palate, it presents a slightly metallic character, with high acidity and somewhat green tannins. It's a stylish and serious wine that certainly needs time to reach its full potential.
