  • Vin bu dans un AVV sans être carafé...

    La robe est pourpre et la lumière ne passe pas au travers. Les larmes sont fines et lentes sur les parois du verre. Le nez offre fruits noirs, torréfaction et boisé, le tout bien racé. En bouche, la matière est profonde, goûteuse et coule bien. Le fruit noir (mûre) est accompagné par le pruneau, des arômes de chocolat et de torréfaction, des épices (canelle - muscade) et un beau boisé intégré, le tout sur une belle finale. Vraiment un beau vin ! :!:

    Dans mes goûts, mieux qu'un La Massa Toscana (ok, pas le même millésime, les mêmes cépages, la même région), même si on peut difficilement faire un comparatif de ces deux vins, eut égard du prix qui est sensiblement le même...

  • Decanted 1 hour. Clear, deep ruby. Nose of black fruits and some light oak. Dry, medium to high acidity, low to medium tannins, medium body. Flavours of black fruit, spice and oak. Medium finish. Too much oak for my tastes at this time. Give it 3-5 years and try again. Good. 85+

  • Dark black. Opens after an hour or so in the decanter with lots of wierd green pepper and balsam. The green notes blow off and leave a typical Veneto nose. I say typical but mean that whole apassimento, ripassa, ripasso thing. I used to love it but now just think its wierd. Lots of nice tannin and acid in the finish. Medium richness. Dry. Not as good as the 99 but better then succesive vintages.
