opened with Jake's tasting group for blind, deductive tasting. Showed very well, and very typical of region/style. Blueberry/violet/horse manure notes were a strong indicator. Conclusion of group - wow! Lots of life to go on this wine, several comments to the effect "ready for lunch now - let's dig into this bottle with some food!"

Although 1996 was a lesser year than 1995 and 1997, this bottle had much strength and length compared to a Chianti 1995 and a Brunello 1995.

Dried berry, and fresh cherry fruit with vanilla and licorice on the nose. Med-full bodied; cherry fruit flavours; medium tannins; long finish.
