PnP, vg showing. I wasn't planning on opening my final bottle, but a guest stopped by and was curious, so here we are. Fully mature with decent freshness, drink now. Rather elegant, the lightest touch of dusty savory. The core of fruit is fading, it's more tertiary than anything. 13,5%., drink in the next several years based on the last two bottles. The 01s are still showing rather young and snappy.

PnP. My third of four, and this particular one, while managing good freshness for its age, proved a good reminder to drink my final bottle sooner than later. Mostly tertiary at this point, with soil, red and dark berry, and forest notes. Medium-bodied, fine, round tannins, avg+ length and decent complexity. Now and the next several years, if this one is representative. 13,5% abv. recommended
Needed a 30 min decant to open up. Well balanced wine that’s medium bodied with a decent finish. Certainly in its prime. This was as good or slightly better than the 01. This will drink well for another 3-5 years.

(Lamborghini (La Fiorita) Umbria Campoleone) Very dark red violet color; reticent cherry nose; concentrated, red fruit, cherry, coffee palate; medium-plus finish (needs 4-5 years)
