Northern Italian Dinner and Wine (Shannon's): Deep gold in color with intense aromas of golden apple, pear tart, caramel, and marzipan with touches of baking spices a slight chalky minerality. Undoubtedly, this was slightly oxidized, but it didn't detract from the sheer beauty and intensity of this wine. Medium-full bodied with good acidity, this showed a tremendous amount of poise for such a big wine. You could barely detect the oak as it was pretty much well integrated into the wine. Wonderfully balanced, layered and complex all the way to the long finish.
