Purchased for $23 back in 2008. Garnet/brown in color with bricking on the rim. No real primary fruit, but delicious secondary notes of raisin, herbs, earth, and leather. I can still pick up some of that sangiovese fruit with ever so slight notes of red cherry, cranberry and sottobosco. I'm honestly floored that this has lasted this long and still tastes great. Still very nice acidity and firm tannins. This has aged better than I have since 2008 and it has been an absolute pleasure to drink. Grade: A

This Campo decanted 1 hour is now drinking at a 93 - so smooth super finesse, very dry but super well rounded with dark fruit and some blueberry with mellow tannins - just spectacular. I can tell you for a 15 year old wine apparently past its window, I say no way! Definitely a drink now.
Paired with NY striploin and couscous - spot to the perfect balance served with grilled broccoli.
Another good 375 ml which was at peak with a quick 15 min decant. No over ripe notes, just nice dark fruit and soft but full palate. Not as complex as some other vintages but easy going & definitely ready to drink.
