Lots of wood spices, ripe dark fruits, mints, and purple flowers in the nose; rather juicy, silky, and smooth on the palate, with mostly dark fruits and soft spices; medium long finish; overall, 90-91 points at this stage.

Breathed the bottle for 3 hours. It's drinking nicely now with red fruits, plums, earthiness and soil on the palate. I thought its better than the 2004. It won't further improve but it will probably hold for a few more years.

Popped had a sip and let air for six hours. Delicious WS got this right and the wine has lost the rough edges. Wine and Spirits missed it. Great Merlot with a Tuscan savour.

rustic yes, also plummy, earthy, mushroomy Sangio/Merlot goodness - darn good bottle that could go at least 5 more years
