  brief notes only, tasted at a Decanter Awards event, London 2015
  
  Won a Gold there. I'm not surprised.
  
  Big soft nose.
  
  Wow, couldn't spit this one; rich all through but then finished Dry; complex and classy; floury; has more potential, is not mature at 6 yrs old.
  
  RR £30.00.....bargain.

  Blind. Earthy, tons of dark fruit, complex; violent tannin, asphalt, high extraction – but cool fruit, highly concentrated. Much of everything. Far too young.

  So the new winemaker is just finishing these vintages. It will be interesting to see what comes when he has the wine all the way through. Aromatic and dramatic and concentrated in kinda every way. Quite earthy.

  More smoke and cedar than the '08. Shows much more oak right now. Palate is there with much black berry and fruit. Caterina says '09 for here is the vintage of the fruit. She further notes time for Sangiovese is so important. Time in bottle is so important. In bottle and in wood.
  
  This is 10 hl barrels in tonno used 1-3 years. New wine maker which is the same winemaker as Terre Nere.
