  This was also slow ox'd with the Domenico. Initially when I tasted and purchased this wine, it was super tannic, but there was copious fruits and acid and that it did, After 10 years, the tannins resolved to provide the structure to the body black fruits/cherries and the acidity was still fresh and preserving it. Domenico beat this only because it was slightly longer on finish and more mouthful feel. Ready to drink but can keep another 5-7 years.

  Very complex nose with the traditional roses and marachino cherry fruit and then also herbs and spices and savory. Lots of tannins on the back, with minerality and structure.
