Starting to decline, not as vibrant and fresh as it once was. Still this is fruity with blueberry, earth and perfume. Lovely and smooth with a finish that is starting to dry out. Drink these soon. I think it's peak was a few years ago. It all depends on your personal pallet though. It's a great wine it was just better to my tastes a few years ago.

Decanted 1 Hour. Round and fresh. Plumbs milk chocolate and red fruit galore in this merlot. Enticing nose that makes you want nothing else. Long finish fine tannin. A distinctly Italian Merlot. Love this one. Drink Now to 2018

Massively over oaked which is a shame as it almost completely masks what would otherwise be an elegant effort. Terrible with food. On its own it is difficult to get beyond the oak splinters

Very good! Had this with marbled sirloin. Perfect! Lots of red fruit slightly oaky, but very balanced. Lucky to have more of this in the cellar.
