Despite the last three reviews saying this wine was flawed, my bottle was absolute perfection. Earthy, complex, silky, smooth with notes of cherry, oak,plum, raspberry and a fantastic finish that sails on and on. This is a great one that held up well in good cellaring conditions.

Spent! Waited too long for this bottle. Nose was fragrant and there is a nice meaty brunello attack but the mid palate falls flat and empty. Finish is non existent as well.

It still manages to be good despite the fact that there is a bit of Musty cork in the background. Disappointed overall.
