Brought this wine back from Italy in 2016. Excellent nose and taste. Dark berries, tobacco, a bit of perfume. Bit softer than expected and drinking well now. Restaurant Somm said 2010 should stay approachable for another 15 years. Not sure if this wine will last another 15 years.

Gorgeous in every sense of the word. So many special qualities. At peak or slightly beyond. Still has a light bite.
