Tasting notes

Light brick-red colour. The nose shows dried roses, nuts, oiled woods, cherries. Elegant and light wine in the mouth. The fruit shows a lot of cherries, nuts, anise, exotic woods. Fine acidity and a tough and tannic structure in the back. Long taste. A very long tasting curve with fruit all the way. This is a different and very good Valtellina. A very interesting and exciting wine if you prefer elegance instead of power. Great QPR.

Light brick-red colour. Brownish rim. Fine nose. Dried roses, anise, cherries, earth. Light and elegant Valtellina in the mouth. Fine fruit, hints of anise, dried roses, cherries. Very nice, but lacking a little the complexity of previous bottle. Good acidity and some tannins biting in the back. Good.

Brick-red colour. The nose shows dried roses, leather, old woods, leather. Light and elegant wine in the mouth. Roses and anise in the fruit. Quite exotic. Some oiled woods. Quite special, but I like it very much. Good structure. Some tannins in the back. Quite mature now.

Brown-red colour. Complex nose with hints of tar, nuts, oiled woods, anise. Light and mature wine in the mouth. Shows a little more of the fruit with air. Fine and complex. Old woods, anise, dried roses. Fine acidity and still some tannins in the back. Very good wine that is best on the nose.
