A rash purchase this week based on a previous tasting note (but thank you RCOLLELA). Some concern that this is too old was exacerbated when we saw the plastic cork. However, there is still quite a lot of red and dark red fruit there, with a finish full of chocolate and a bit of coffee. The acidity is extraordinary, and brilliantly judged and keeps it clean and exceptional throughout. Fruit came and went during the 2 hours we had it in our glasses with arguably the best moments at about the hour mark. At the right price (sub £19 in our case) this is still a canny buy, but drink it SOON!

This wine Has intensity of dark fruits raspberries and blackberries, hints of coffee, full bodied with long lasting tannins. This wine is blended with 3 varieties og grapes Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Excellent drinking wine after 15 years of cellaring. Drank on Dec 12, 2022 with company Anna and Frank Pompilio.

Well, still tasting very fresh despite it 12 years of age. A savoury rich Tuscan sun kind of nose with light touch of acidity and no discernible tannin

Plum & tannin, rich and balanced. Holding up nicely for an old bird.
