Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(8/2019) "Luminous crimson color. Offers minty red fruit and minerals on the captivating nose. Full, dense and rich, with multilayered flavors of red cherry, minerals, exotic spices and aromatic herbs. Finishes long with building mouthcoating tannins and with some alcohol-derived heat. The nose takes longer to open up than in the other 2017 Terre Nere wines, so decant an hour ahead (at least) prior to serving. Better still, cellar it for another five to six years for maximum enjoyment."

(11/7/2019) "Dried strawberries, blueberry compote, walnuts, dried orange peel and dried leaves. This is a bold and tannic but silky and suave, full-bodied red. Layers of plush fresh fruit come straight to the fore and don't leave the palate until the long finish finally gives way. Drink from 2023."
