  Wine kept in storage.
  
  As others tasting notes had observed, this wine had a sweet edge to It on the fruit. Contrary to what others have found, we both found there were certainly tannins present here, and the wine - which was decanted for thirty minutes or so into a decanter, before back to the bottle - did not seem past it or faded. Drunk with a juicy thick steak, thinly sliced and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, rosemary oil and Parmesan - the wine paired well and they complimented one another very nicely.
  
  Second day - my partner felt it displayed increased tannic presence. I found the sweetness gone on the second day.
  
  A good wine, and contrary to what other tasters had noted, it has held up well and my concerns that this may not have lasted the journey were unfounded.

  On the nose: Soil, cherry, oak.
  On the palate: Tar, wooden plank, cherry, blueberry. Some tannins and present acidity. Lacks harmony.
  Medium + finish
  
  Not as pleasant as the 2005. Uninteresting wine.
  Edit**Day 3 more interesting than day 1 and 2.

  Nothing wrong with this although it is out of balance with the tannins and alcohol predominating. Nothing at all to tell me this is Italian unfortunately. I doubt this will improve but it's hard to be sure.
