  Robust ruby color with nothing to indicate its age. Plush on the tongue. Rich cherry fruit and a little cola. Surprisingly, a little herbal note. Finish still a little closed until it got some air time.

  Powerful wine even at 10 years. Screams of strawberry cola and ends with sweet vanilla. Big and beautiful.

  This Rochioli bottle is aging very, very nicely. So much fruit in this one, it hardly seems to be 10 years old. It even held up exceptionally well on the second day open. Believe there are still many years ahead for this vintage, suggesting 2028 end-date.

  Just slightly opaque sangria color.
  
  Very open knit nose of baking spice, dusty earth, dried Italian herbs, kola nut, black cherry.
  
  Full and rounded palate of ripe red cherries, cola, and orange peel. This particular bottling seems to enjoy the acid balance of the vintage. Very fine and quite delightful.

  PnP. Medium red no signs of browning. Nose is very much secondary flavor driven with sous-bois and herbs. On the palate this has lovely smooth texture and a very savory driven taste with a finish which is quite long. I would say this is at or past its peak of maturity but quite a lovely wine, especially given the vintage.
