  Absolutely perfect now.All roughness gone. An elegant wine, medium body, with complex cherry like nose and palate with perhaps something licorice underlying. Very long. Because the tannins have become really calm, it was surprisingly perfect with a dim sum lunch which involved a wide range of flavours including fish And mild chili heat.

  Buttle. Bought 9 bottles of this having enjoyed the great 2007.
  Eighteen months ago I was a bit disappointed but today the second bottle was delicious. Not a huge wine but plenty of depth. I get some almonds on the nose and plums or cherries. On the palate, tannins have mellowed with a fairly high acidity giving character and keep ability.

  Cork on the verge of crumbling, but barely staianed. Dark and deep.
  Drinking well right now.

  Great Bordeaux blend from Tuscany: Tuscan acidic backbone, dark fruits from the CS, mature cherries, raspberries, leather, earth, note of caramel, dark chocolate, medium to full body, well integrated oak, black currant, very nice aftertaste
