Graphite and minerals dominate on the nose, with potpourri, dried cherries, orange zest, wax and licorice. There is a lot of fruit sweetness on the palate, with firm, dusty yet ripe tannins and long, refreshing acidity. Full-bodied, it will age for decades. Try from 2027.
Decanter: 95 Points
Romirasco is the estate’s largest site, directly east of Cicala but combining the geology of the latter with that of Colonnello, and so typically ends up being the most balsamic in profile. The 2021 wafts mint, rosemary, slightly grilled nuances and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate flows smoothly and seamlessly, giving an impression of weightlessness yet with profound depth and concentration. Inner floral perfumes mingle with spicy pepper, and velvety tannins build to an imposing volume, picking up grainy wood and clamping down dryly on the finish. I look forward to revisiting many years from now.
