Wonderfully autumnal in its earthy dampness on the nose. Plenty of structure on the palate, and perhaps the fleshiness doesn't quite match. There's lots of scaffolding but the core is a little hollow. Even so, the balance is surprisingly drinkable – although it needs food, of course. Drink between 2020-2035.
Castiglione Falletto. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Cool, leafy nose with hints of tobacco leaf. Already a little bit of development going on and this is not hugely concentrated on the nose. Minerally, balsamic fruit while the powdery tannins and brisk acidity become more prominent on the finish. A little austere, but long as well – in a difficult phase right now. Drink between 2022-2032.
