Definitely matured. Dark fruit, spice, and leather but with good acidity. Smooth tannins. Good length. Very harmonious. I loved this wine in its youth given it’s power and flavour and whilst this has evolved immensely and become much more subtle, I still love it as much!

Drunk next to a 2008 Cupano Ombrone - much more austere compared to the rich and voluptuous Cupano. However, very well knit and beautiful length. Really enjoyable.

Sweet red fruit on the nose. Beautifully balanced with well integrated tannins. Still lots of fruit with some black pepper on the back end. This is a truly fantastic wine that has years ahead of it.

Muted blackcurrant and chocolate on the nose. Incredibly smooth and voluptuous in taste - very well balanced. Still plenty of tannins with a peppery, long finish and a hint of cedar wood in there. I thought this was a fantastic wine and I am very intrigued to see how this develops over the coming years.
