  Side-by-side with 01 Bartolo Mascarello, this was a bit more reserved and less expressive. Good core of very classic fruit with earth and floral accents, but just a bit muddled and less precise. Bottle opened 24 hours in advance for a slow-o. A little hard to figure.

  I am extremely sensitive to TCA and L is even more so (I would reckon us at the 90+ and 95+ percentiles). This wine had the lightest corkiness on the nose I've ever experienced and none on the palate. Very floral in the nose (only occasionally showing TCA) with dark fruits and a silky palate. At pristine bottle should be 94 or more. Cellared since original release.

  Blind tasting, red wine flight 3 wine #5. Wine was decanted for 2+ hours before serving. Clear bright ruby with slight brick red rims.
  Lifted elegant nose with fresh and primary fruits along with tar, smoke and dried cherry.
  Nice robust entry with lots of primary fruits flavours and still young, fresh and fleshy, exhibits sour cherry, dried plum and hints of tar and smoke. Elegant and balance on palate with a solid structure to continue to age. Long finish with fine and chewy tannins. Very well integrated.

  Decanted 1-2 hours. Dark crimson. Still very young, tannins still prominent, good base of fruit but should have left longer.
