16% alcohol! This was in a pretty nice teenage phase. Tons of fruit, but getting the complexities I'd hope for in a wine approaching 15 years old. The alcohol was a bit distracting but not entirely over the top.

This is a little juicier and less heavy than most vintages of the Pesenti, though it is still packed with flavor. I taste peaches, prunes, game, and spices. This doesn’t strike me as the most age-worthy Pesenti, so I suggest drinking now.

Opened // No decant // Waited 90 minutes // Wine was very balanced and gentle from start (light raspberry and vanilla) to the finish (mild pepper, roses and cherry // Sometimes, waiting is rewarded // A wonderful drinking wine //

still at the top of its game. Needs some air to present fully. Strong dark cherry fruit, some earth and a touch of leather complement the spice notes. Complex and well-balanced.

Delicious. Peaches, chocolate covered raisins, black cherries, and gaminess. Great balance; love the acidity here. Drink now.
