I was so surprised that this 28 year old wine still had all of its character. Full of life great on the palet and good finish. Have to get some more of this wine

Unfortunately this bottle was not like the last I had years ago. Cork , color and level was good. Nose was perfect but on the palate faded in 2/3 hours in probably a too much acidity and less interesting than the nose. Anyway, considering the age was a good bottle

Saturday night at The Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): A good bottle! The wine evolves quite interestingly. On open it had a rich, sweet core akin to a supertuscan however an hour in a decanter later this evolved into a well secondary Bordeaux-esque wine. Earthy, mushroomy, cedar. On the palate it is well round, silky very enjoyable but lacks a bit of vitality and length. Dont get us wrong this is a very nice wine and well worth tha ~65 price tag. Drink now

Colore granato con riflesso aranciato ,all'inizio un sentore animale ma poi subito liquirizia spezie ,terra,tabacco. Buona acidita' ancora ben presente , tannino levigato e buona sapidita', bella lunghezza.

allowed around 18 hours of bottle decants; quite high in minerality, soy sauce like in aroma with floral undertone; smooth and velvety with no sign of tannin; a smooth and comfortable bottle but not particularly outstanding

Lovely color, still youthful looking Opens with a killer nose full of cedar and spice accents to the slight vanilla toned wild strawberry confiture fruit, gains a smoky edge and some pointy limestone notes. Lush with fruit verging on sweet but the vibrant acidity keeps it lively in the mouth, tannins are pretty much resolved and this is at peak with intense strawberry fruit, that limestone bite that give mouthgrab and a long linger finish that ends with a flourish of autumnal mushroom. Superb,

A winebid purchase. In this case, the cork was fine but sadly the bottle was maderized :(

Liked ot, though for my taste nearly a bit on the evolved side. Autumnal notes, dried leaves, leather. Yet very nice to drink with the osso bucco!

Maderised. gone. Shame really but quite a frequent issue with old italian wines not sourced from the source. Maybe the other bottle will be better.
