Beautiful wine tasted at cellar door. Reading past reviews was afraid this was over the hill but it’s beautifully made and blended, and still within drinking window. But probably needs to be drunk now or within the next year. Complete harmony of fruit and rich spices, with bell pepper notes. Turns out both the Il Blu and Ilatraia requires more than 10 years to get there! (I had tasted the 2015 as well and it still needed time).

No formal note. Nice wine. Clear dark ruby in colour with some garnet showing on edges. Notes of leather, tobacco, and black cherry. Probably a few years past it prime, but still enjoyable.

Probably had more "pop" a few years ago. For me, I'm late to the party. So very soft, fruits almost like week old blueberries. Drink now.
