This shows no sign of dropping off despite 2005 not being theoretically long lived. Black cherries and tar with nice balance. The QPR definitely works for me in this offering (especially looking at sandrone's wine from the same site).

I will caution that I have had some bottle variation on this one, but tonight's bottle was excellent. Really great nose of flowers and dark fruit (if the palate was as great may merit 1-2 pts higher). Very enoyable with dark fruits and some tar and truffle. Some other bottles have been more closed and tannic.

Big and bold. Balsamic notes with black sour cherries, tar and licoroce. Mouthfilling. No signs of aging. 90+

Binny's Italian Night (Binny's South Loop - Chicago, IL): Minty black truffle on the nose and palate. Dark black fruit.
