  Sometimes, good things come to those who wait..And this is one of those times.
  
  Farven er dyb/mørk uigennemtrængelig rubinviolet.
  
  Duften er loaded med, moden solbær, sorte brombær, blåbær, masser af mørk chokolade/kakao, modne tobaks og læder toner, HB blyant/grafit, mandelmel, lille tone af eucalyptus, parfumeret af mørkerøde blomster.
  
  Smagen er meget lig duften, Full-bodied, masser af dyb moden frugt som i duften. Der er lidt efterårsmuld i smagen. Der er mange lag og lidt kant i smagen ellers er den mere fløjlsblød og smooth i smagen. Tæt og kompakt i frugtstrukturen.
  Syren er lige til stede på en afrundet måde, hvilket klæder den modne frugt.
  
  Tanniner er bløde, sorte oliven, sort te.
  
  Eftersmagen er ret lang og koncentreret 3 min +
  
  Ekstra: Jeg har smagt den før, men det er først nu, den rigtig har samlet sig og de forskellige elementer er integreret i hinanden.
  
  80% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Merlot.
  Giovanni Chiappinis naboer er, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Antinori (Guado al Tasso) og Le Macchiole. (sikke et nabo lag)
  
  Zalto Burgunder glas. Iltet i glasset 2-3 timer

  Sleek, glossy Cabernet, Merlot blend. Impressively made if rather monolithic. A fair amount of time will tell if anything more complex and interesting emerges. Next door to Ornellaia of course.

  Beautiful nose of ripe black fruit, loads of iodine, eucalyptus, chocolate... Nice acidity with red berries, cold tannins, good lenght, characoal. 92/100 or higher note if you like high acidity

  Super-bombastic Cabernet/Merlot blend, dense, full-bodied, very alcoholic and chocolaty. Extremely modern, polished and concentrated to the maximum. I have no idea how this will age, but currently this just has too much of everything for my palate and the alcoholic finish is quite unpleasant. An impressive wine, but no elegance. - 90 points
