  Bottle from Superiore.de showing too much evolution with fast oxidation, this didn't come as a surprise :\

  Couldn't wait five years before trying again. This time, the 93 score is based on where it is today after a three hour decant. In my previous note the wine was unapproachable after three hour decant due to massive tannins. The tannins are now becoming integrated, but more time is needed. In three or more years, this wine may be in the 95+ zone.

  Medium full body, velvety, feminine, loads of finesse, balanced, some length.

  Three years on (already!) since the previous bottle, this remains in top form. Grab a few if you can still find some. Previous note remains consistent: "Very good; needs time. Double-decanted this for 1 hour the night before (was way too coiled on PnP). Med/Med+ body, excellent structure, some citrus and strawberry on the nose, with soil, leather and forest, etc. Easily in my top 10% of production in this zone in 2015. Precise, structured, elegant. Needs some time to integrate; will open the next one in ~ 3 years at the earliest. Drink or hold. Outstanding value; drink thru 2035+, highly recommended+
