Intriguing nose, I smelled i. a. sweet herbs, mint, eucalyptus and licorice. It is like a warm tuscan evening. Not an in your face wine, more like chamber music but the underlying power and discreet persistence are obvious.

Cellared since 2000. Served a bit too cold at cellar temperature and initially quite restrained. With increasing temperature and more air, notes of blue fruits, sweet violets, minerals and licorice emerged. Good weight and energy and still with grippy tannins despite its age.

At plateau of maturity. Intense, evolved bouquet of ripe cherries, wet earth and tobacco. Pliant and harmonious, tannins are resolved. No reason to keep this longer.
