This has become softer with time and retained its rich Italian flavor. Elegant with a long finish. Perfect for any full bodied Italian meat dish. Enjoyed with Holly and David

Still retains dark ruby color but there is a loss of the black fruit on the nose and palate. Clearly past it's prime drinking interval but still pleasurable. I was holding these out for a vertical for our wine tasting group but I obviously held them too long.

Beautiful example of an aged super tuscan. Lovely nose of lavendar, sweet red fruits and fresh herbs. Silky smooth tannins on the palate enhance the black fruit, with a great balance of savouriness coming from the meaty, briny flavours that come through when it hits the mouth and take front stage on the finish. Nice wine but drink now, I wouldn't hold it for too much longer.

Beautiful deep color with transparent edges, not showing much age; big, powerful nose of sweet, ripe black fruit, leather, hints of dried figs; big flavors, full-bodied but with tannin and acids both in recession; long; elegant, balanced.

Mature but still very drinkable. Drink now or soon. Opens up as soon as you open. No decanting needed.
