Now a few years later this wine has smoothened out more. The tannins are still chewy while fruit is fading a little. Its a very enjoyable wine right now with the finish in particular developed and much longer now. Drink now.

Montalcino visit Spring 2008; 5/22/2008-5/23/2008 (Montalcino): Deep ruby colour, almost black at the core. Full aromas of blackcurrant and plum with hints of toast. Full bodied with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Medium finish. Nice to drink now, but has some potential to develop further, I'm not sure, but if the core of ripe fruit balances out with the tannins and acidity this one might get into the 90+ region. Drink now - 2014.
