An intense wine with vibrancy and style. On the nose it shows bright cassis, bramble fruit, eucalyptus, balsamic, graphite, minerals and hints of leather and tobacco. Soft palate with silky, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a long, chewy, savory finish. The first vintage with 10% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

The nose is simultaneously savory, sweet and festive, thanks to aromas of dark macerated fruit and spices, plus undertones of sweet tobacco and vanilla. Those notes all continue onto the palate, which is vanilla whipped cream atop a slice of chocolate cake, accompanied by the last, sweet smoke of a cigar going out and an espresso.

Refined and poised, Piastraia is always a pleasure to taste. A dense, ripe core of salted plum and spices with a slightly creamy undertone are surrounded by layers of energetic red and black berries and floral lift. Structural elements give shape without standing in the way, and some woody notes suggest it needs a bit more time to fully harmonise. A solid buy.
