  Meh. Decanted for 2 hours prior, heavy tannins, improved minimally with even more air. Wife's comment was "Tastes like Chinese Medicine" ... not sure if it was a flawed bottle, but definitely wasn't as good as I had a few months back when served out of a magnum. Had been watching a group of these at auction, no longer after this experience.

  Deep dark hue. Opulent aroma of spicy French oak with undertone of dark cherries, secondary nose of vanilla and plum. Lightly sweet on the initial, medium to full body, quickly developing a complex character. Firm tannins, nice acidity, provides a supple smooth mouthfeel yet fine intensity. A cherry filled transition, leading into an ultra long, tannic finish. Beautifully balanced wine, very delicious and punches well above its weight.

  A super Tuscan with character. The nose is fresh black cherries with graphite a little vanilla and leather. Good nose. The fruit on the palate is a tad austere, but tannins are well integrated. Medium bodied. It has the crisp, dry texture of a classic Italian red. Nice balance. Well made.
