"There is contained power in the 2018 Graciano, which reveals a restrained 13.47% alcohol with very high acidity, close to seven grams,and a very low pH (3.22), which means lots of freshness and citrusacidity in the wine. It has a lactic touch on the nose that talks aboutits youth and the need for some more time in bottle. There is a touch ofausterity on the palate, combining the abundant tannins and the highacidity that make it a bit harsh. There is a touch of iron and blood,and it's varietal and long. The wine is very powerful anyway and isgoing to welcome some time in bottle. Nobody said Graciano was easy... 3,300 bottles were filled in June 2021."
"Black-cherry aromas with some spice and just a hint of jam, following through to a full body with lots of dense fruit, a slightly chewy tannintexture and a fruity finish. But it remains in check. Bitter citrus atthe end of the palate. Try after 2022, when the tannins will havesoftened"
Eine echte Rarität, ein reiner Graciano, es wurden nur ca. 3000 Flasche abgefüllt. In der Nase noch recht verschlossen, jugendlich, mit Aromen von schwarzen Kirschen, Brombeeren, Pflaumen<(>,<)> Johannisbeerkonfitüre und Vanille. Im Gaumen dicht, viel<(>,<)> aber gutes Tannin, strukturiert, mit Noten von dunklen Früchten und Beeren, wiederum Kirschen und etwas Tabak vermischt mit Vanille. Dieser Wein wird in einigen Jahren seine wahre Grösse zeigen. Passt sehr gut zu Roastbeef oder einem Linseneintopf.
