Vibrant fruit, almost youthful, but the age shows while it lingers. And lingers. Great buy. May have an upside, but I believe I will consume my other bottle shortly.

This was an impressive young bruiser. The nose came bursting out of the glass, and it was big, but not heavy. At 19 years this was not a baby, but still very youthful. I can imagine it going strong for a couple of decades still.

COL D' ORCIA VERTICALE POGGIO AL VENTO (UNIVERSITA' DI POLLENZO): Da Magnum Goudron, lacca e rossetto. Alcool un po' eccessivo. Vino più cupo e meno espressivo rispetto al 2001... forse bottiglia non perfetta?? Toni più rustici, meno frutto a bilanciare acidità e tannini. Finale asciugante e tanta materia sapida. Vino ancora un po' indietro nell' evoluzione, molto giovanile.

Notes of olives, leather and stew. Very fat, smooth tannins, still quite fruit forward. Good but lacking elegance.
