My first La Torre BdM, and I get it. I purposely wanted to try this vintage, what many have deemed too hot for good grapes. But this was fresh, and fine, and full of everything I look for in pure, well-grown Sangiovese. This continued to open if, every so subtly, with each glass, revealing more additional beauty and finesse as it did. Very classy, and for my palate, perfectly balanced. Bravo! highly recommended
Aerated to decanter one hour, served non-blind; still has at least 5 good years in yet.

Just like my experience with the 2000, it is very quiet on the nose and palate. Really nice soft and supple palate. I betcha its really going to come around.

Paired elegantly and unobtrusively with a plethora of seafood and pasta dishes. Held up well to spice, but did not drown out the more delicate dishes. Excellent with seafood pastas and roasted chicken.

Sehr schwach. Ist wohl über sein Alter hinaus. Zunehemnd Säure, fast keine Nase, kein Abgang

Delicous and fairly hard core. Needs some time but delicious.
