Strong nose of blackberry liquore, cassis, graphite. Palate has inviting dark fruit notes, strong tannic backbone, and appealing acid. Definitely well-made as usual and a strong presence on the palate, well balanced and complex.

Drank out of magnum- Amazingly balanced and complex. The usual tannin structure of this wine had shed while complex fruit had stayed behind. The aromatics were full of dark fruits and a hint of vanilla oak with secondary notes. The nose is followed up with similar characteristics on the palate, the wine really did benefit from the medium term cellaring. I real pleasure!

Fantastic! Very complex on the nose with tar, leather, and dried red/black fruits. Palate is very expressive for a very youthful wine. Impressive balance and well-integrated tannins, really shines in this great vintage. There is always an enviable harmony to the Siro Pacenti wines. Truly impressive!
