This was worth the wait, very well balanced and focused wine. It was delicate in true Italian fashion. We drank it over two nights and it felt a bit more "open," but it was good on the whole.

My first bottle consumed of this wine was 12-26-12. That one was not so good. This was very good, but I lost my tasting notes and can only say that this wine was dark, fragrant with dark fruit and had a velvet mouth feel with minimal tannins. Was looking for a little more back bone, but still, a nice experience. I can not give it the 93 pts that WS bestowed, but maybe it will continue to evolve and improve?

Dark purple in color, clear halo rim, with somewhat muted aromas of wild berries and black cherry. Palate opens with some restrained plum and berry flavors, which develop over about an hour's decant into more of a mix of cherry, black plum, cedar and wet earth, leading to a medium+ finish. Very pleasant, and likely with several years to continue evolving.
