  my last bottle - but perhaps I should buy more...
  transparent red-brown with amber rim
  elegant ripe mature dark cherries nose with tertiary earthy notes and truffles-bitter-chocolate hints, develops gently in the glass over time
  medium-full bodied, soft integrated but firm tannins, rich mature cherries (and plums) flavours), elegant structure, fine complexity, earthy, truffles, excellent balance & harmony, bitter-dark-choclate & black pepper finish, fine tannic fruity aftertaste.
  Excellent now and can still age 3-8 years more, at least.

La Spinetta were the best bottles, though all were enjoyable
