  Somehow. Amd I mean by miracle. I was able to remove the cork in 1 piece. It was pretty saturated and I was apprehensive. The first nose was earthy, old world and needing some air since the born on date was during the Clintonyears here in US. Gave her about 2 hours and was gifted with a top notch experience. Well worth the wait. Even if cared for perfect. Drink now. Cork was among the worst I have seen. If you insist on saving. Build a bat box and hang her upside down. Cheers.

  Patience paid off. With the pull of the cork, a quiet party began with cherries flirting with black olives while rosemary swayed with the anise. The cherry pits played background. Simply a wonderful wine with a velvety mouthfeel on a medium frame. A few grains of sediment slip out in the last pours. 13.5% alc. With veal meatballs and cheese lasagne from Antonio’s Italian Deli (Raleigh). As nice as the food was, the wine surpassed it. Highly Recommended.

  This wine appeared younger than the CastelGiocondo Brunello consumed with it, both 1997. Redder color, darker, less thin. In some ways the Vino Nobile was almost better -- but there is a simplicity, just the sour cherry note and the acidity, not as much complexity. Like the Brunello it sweetened and opened when tasted with meat, it was simply a lot better with the correct pairing. And it was better the next day as well.

  Ruby center with 1/8" clearing at the edges. Earthy-sweet tart nose. Dry earth. Cherry fruit. Decent.

  Despite a great vintage, the Poliziano is not convincing. Weakly defined but intense nose of black fruits. Mossy. Musty. Even with plenty of air hardly a nice bouquet. Simple and straightforward on the palate.
