Decanted and drank immediately. Cocktail cherry on the nose with purple flowers and cedar. There's just a hint of well-controlled VA that makes me want to keep smelling this forever. The age is a bit more noticeable on the palate, where the fruit tastes dried and the tannins are mellow.
I think it's probably right around its peak, but I'd buy two more bottles of this in a heartbeat if I saw them in a shop.

Opened 3 hours in advance. Deep ruby. Nose closed at the beginning but revealed a beautiful complex aroma afterwards still firm primary fruit, mostly black. No jammy overripe fruit. But later r black fruit vanilla cedar sous bois. At 22 years old this is a phenomenal work of art. Don’t wait another 5 years but it will last certainly that long. FYI the same blend as tignanello.

Esplendido. Mesmo com 20 anos ainda rubi intenso com pouco tijolo. Aroma intenso de frutas negras e vermelhas maduras, cogumelos e trufas. Muito complexo. Na boca é estupendo, intenso, muito persistente e agradabilíssimo. Está em todo seu explendor! Maavilhoso!
