  375ml, popped and poured. The nose is stupendous from the get-go: bright blackcurrant fruit, green leaves, cigar ash, cocoa and well-judged oak. The palate is pure old world elegance. Quite powerful yet moderately proportioned with awfully delicious blackcurrant fruit, dark cherry, herbs and some leafy notes. The plentiful tannins are perfectly ripe with a gentle grip. Markedly firm with a bit tight finish, I would say that this is 5-10 years from peak depending on one's preferences (75cl probably at least 10 years). Fascinating brightness and vitality to it, a superb wine as always.

  At last San Leonardo declared "ready to drink or hold" on 2005. Nice and soft, velvety and elegant Bordeaux blend. I like it less than 2006. Still nice wine and very foodfriendly.

  Complessità, suasività, morbidezza, nel finale perde un po' velocemente quella rotondità di corpo che non è proprio il suo forte, ma non stanca mai e seduce molto con molto profumo e continuità nel palato.
