  Big, funky old wine. I can see how it's lost some subtlety but's it still has a lot of fruit and dark character.

  Fantastic heady nose, similar to the 1994: black fruit, liquorice and menthol. The palate didn't quite live up to the nose, though. Even though the fruit was still alive, the palate was fairly thin/watery. Making things worse, the bottle had only been standing for 24 hours and the wine was murky with fine sediment.

  At peak. It is very developed at this stage. Very dense for a Sangiovese. Ripe cherry, plum note. Tertiary note of leather, earth. Medium plus body. Medium to long finish.
  
  At Il Portico with Rory, Gwen, Cheryl and Aldo.
