  Exactly what I was looking for tonight. Good to go from first pop. Elegant and soft, red berries, perfumed. Enjoyed this tonight. 93/94

  Late night drop-off drink. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Was guessing Poggio di Sotto Brunello, but unsure of the vintage. Felt fresh but warm vintage.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red licorice, red cherry fruits, red plums, slight kirsch red candy with more air. Develping.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), silky medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of red licorice, sweet red plums, sticky sour red cherries, sweet spices, dusty Tuscan dirt earth background. Very long finish with lots of grip but finesse.
  Very good quality. Ageing along well. Many years to go.

  Middag med venner: Blind. Sur-søt duft som heller mot det naturvinsaktige, mineralsk, svak aske, bringebær, stor syre og moderat tannin. Moden frukt mot det tørkede. Tanninen vokser etter hvert med luft, ikke så veldig lang. Sjarmerende og innbydende på den elegante siden. Drikk opp.

  2 hour decant
  
  Really pretty and floral tones, with additional dollops of bright red cherry, and herbs, and a touch of sweetness. Lighter than other vintages but still enjoyable; probably not as structured as PdS's best vintages but refreshing and fresh today.
