Not much has changed for this bottle in the past seven years. The fruit is still intact and the acid is bright and balancing. It is a big wine that somehow Quintarelli manages to tame and turn into quite an elegant bottle. Outstanding, once again.

Opened at Commis, Oakland. In a beautiful place right now. Mature dark fruit complicated by earth notes, with harmonious soft tannins and round ripasso richness that is neither overpowering nor sweet. This is why one ages wine.

I would call this fully resolved and mature at this point. Medium bodied, but rich and with some sense of sweetness. Deep flavored with the complexity and flavor profile that is so unique to Quntarelli. I don't see much upside in further aging.
