Medium murky red brown. Beautiful aromatic nose. Blueberries, goosberries and also something sweet, like nutmeg or petrol - maybe parsley. These give way to animally, vegetative smells - wet fur and cooked cabbage. It isn't intrusive or pongy though. The wow factor continues in the mouth. 'Take no Prisoners' tannins, marvelous balance with the acids and toasted rich dark fruits. Dark plum again and black cherries. Fantastic complexity, great length. In a few years these will be monumental.
Beautiful aromas of blackberry and mineral follow through to a full body, with very well-integrated tannins and chocolate, bright fruit and mineral on the finish. Best after 2012. 5000 cases made. -J.S
La Morra. Heavy bottle. Ageing not specified. Deepish smudgy garnet. Strange dried tomato and olive aromas and some volatility. Firm and dense and quite ‘modern’ tasting (ie tastes of new oak). Lots of grip but a nice freshness on the finish and very good length. 2012-25
