Deep ruby in colour with aromas of sweet black fruit & toasted old French oak. On the palate, full bodied tart black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, old oak (tobacco?), somewhat earthy with medium to high acidity & medium soft, silky tannins. Finish is long to spice & pepper. This wine is a lovely example of rustic old Italian wine & tastes amazing considering it is 13 years old! Bravo!

Last bottle. From magnum. Not as good as the last one, but still very nice. Possibly past prime.
