Smells like musty old Bordeaux at first, but the aromatics changed quickly with air and the fruit became far more expressive and clean on the nose. Very dark. Bold, ripe, and generally in a really nice place right now. I’d even go so far to say that this is pretty special.
Agree with other comments here — this wine continues to improve with air, definitely decant for 2 hours.

Wow very nice ready to drink after one hour of decanting great flavors of truffle mushroom black chocolate raspberry cherry. Full bodied wit sweet touch and super long vibrant finish

Fantastic wine. Sweet tobacco and cherry. Still fresh even at this age. This wine aged beautifully. Drink now.

Just a little bit tired at this point but a great wine. Smoky nose, fruit still present, long and super elegant.

Truly spectacular, felt younger and fresher than the 01 Ornellaia next to it. Mint, blackcurrant, perfectly ripe and balanced, stunning!
