.It has just been decanted. The color is very deep, almost black with purple rim. Definitively darker than the Vesuvio drank before Christmas. The nose is already awesome, concentrated flavors of plums, very floral(lavender), grapey and sweet dark cherries, everything very intense. The attack is so balanced and charming, very sweet, then you can feel the dry tannins but nothing offensive, the balance stays in with the jammy fruit supporting these bold tannins. The finish is very short right now but the after taste comes rocking with powerfull clove taste, touch of alcool helping there too. We'll let it breathe and I'll do the follow up for you guys when I feel some changes.
