Very full nose, olums, jam and some tar Full ripe fruit on the palate. Soft even overripe but at same time a sort of harshness too Animal note too, some old leather, touch of vinegar too Bit rustic, had better vintages of this Not bad with bolognese

it feels strange to complain about a wine for a lack of rusticity and having more polish, but that is what I feel! I've drunk a few vintages of this wine and this is, to me, the least enjoyable. I loved the edges and spikiness of the others and this wine just feels 'safe'. it is almost certainly personal preference and I can imagine many people preferring this style to the previous years. Not me
