Yakko

The nose was somewhat muted, taking some time to unfold, with a mix of oak, red fruit, and plum notes, but ultimately, the richness was somewhat lacking, with a noticeable earthy undertone, and grippy tannins that added a firmness to the finish, with a medium body and a decent finish. Overall, it was a decent wine, but not particularly memorable, and the price point made it a less appealing option for the evening, but perhaps it would improve with more time and patience, and perhaps due to the high price point, it may not be worth revisiting in the future.

Waitak

Multitude of possibilities, and a plethora of promise.

Ma2Dra Mengesha

Richly textured, earthy Brunello with a detailed aroma of dried rose, leaf, and damp earth notes, cohesive by a sweet and lively fruit profile. The tannins are firm and structured, at the same time the aftertaste is long and satisfying.
