Garnet with a tawny rim. Fully developed nose with tomato stalks, leather and sweet spices. Not a lot of fruit there. Agressive on palate with huge, drying tannins that demand serious ageing. Very spicy with tea leaves and moderate finish. Difficult to drink it now without food.

Deep ruby, garnet rim. Deep complex nose of dark fruits, prunes, plums, stewed raspberries, ink, garrigue herbs, earthy & stony minerality. Medium - body, medium tannins, medium + acidity, lovely balanced rich fruit. Great match with a tagliata. Even better in my mind than the 2007. Will have to stock up on this...

Drank at Oleana. No formal notes but very enjoyable.
