Wow. After a 20 minute decant, this was round, plush, borderline exotic with wonderful perfumed aromas wafting from the glass followed by a silky smooth finish that punches through the structured tannins. Approachable now and paired wonderfully with veal parm.

Definitely a 95 points wine. Tasted alongside Orma 2013 (93 points), the Argentiera has the same fruit concentration and richness but a lot more complexity and finesse. Excellent now !

Very powerful Supertuscan withe 50% Cab. Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cab. Franc. After 4 hours at the Decanter opened a bit. But much too young in my opinion and with powerful tannins. The palate is dominated by fruits and earth with very interesting hints of mince, rosmarine and other herbs. Will develop very good over the next years and probably try again in 4 years.
50, 40, 10 Cab, Merlot, Franc; all barrel aged for 18 months, 50/50 new used, and then held a year in bottle as well. The next Ornellaia? And more ripe and poised than the middle brother of the set. Balanced.
