  Really was delicious (93+) but fell apart the next day, so I wasted half the bottle…. :(

  Weak initial nose yielded first to a bit of brett (was attractive), then deep, spherical berry. Pleasant, rounded palate (no heat) - still holding a relatively tight structure and robust finish. Legs in the glass are strong. Time out of bottle was a couple of hours when a bit of degradation was noticed... so DRINK UP! 50/5/14/17/7

  Encore une fois, belle matière et fruit gourmand.
  Le nez a un peu d'anis, des fruits rouges et des herbes.
  En bouche, surtout des cerises et des mures avec du poivre
  et un peu de café. Les tanins sont bien enrobés
  et la finale longue et veloutée.
  Impeccable.

  Final bottle from my six pack.
  Not yet ready…, should have waited longer.
  Somewhat weird, given 11 years of age, and still feels like it has not yet opened up.
  Nose shows more mature than the palate, with licorice and green herbs, cherries, earth and oak.
  Palate with a pronounced licorice note, dark cherries, earth and tobacco.
  Massive, shut, tannins and high acidity.
  Consistent with previous bottles.
  Should have been fun to see where this would have ended up, given more time, as it has allot going on.
  Still, enjoyable, but nowhere hear ready at this point.
  Good, but too young.
  If you have any bottles, wait atleast 2 years.

  Pas mal mieux que ma première qui était déjà très bien.
  Fait de Sangiovese et Petit Verdot.
  Très beau nez sur les mures, le cassis, le café et les épices.
  En bouche, belle texture soyeuse, c'est riche et dense. Beauoup de fruits, cerises noires et mures avec de l'anis et du café.
  Les tannins sont veloutés et la finale super longue et vaporeuse.
  Pas mal en ligne avec la note de Wine Spectator
