Decanted for 2 hours, perfect color brick red , no brown tinge. Nose chopped green peppers, sour and fresh cherries, some smoke.Taste balanced, soft , creamy a powerhouse of wellness, I believe my best wine ever from Tuscany, still 10 years to go but at the moment, the mature line is starting.

Very dark purple and bit over extracted ala the more modern style of many super Tuscan wines. Bouquet reminded me of a California Cab. It did have a very nice peppery finish, but lacked purity of fruit on the palate.

The 2004 Il Caberlot is a fantastic wine. Unique fruit profile (Could not be mistaken for any othe Itlian wine I know). So much depth and such a long finish. Simply Fantastic !!! (95).

Occational dinner group; Il Caberlot tasting. (Mei Wah): Beautiful red and dark berries and autumn impressions. Good complexity. On the palate juicy red and dark berries firm and good acidity and soft tannin.
