Dinner Chez Pelz: I could have never guessed this as Italian. This, too seemed very CdP-like. Had great dark fruit and lots of personality. Drank right in its prime spot in my opinion, and went great with the food (which I find to be a hallmark for many Italian wines). Would have never guessed that it was a 1998 as it seemed very youthful.

Definitely ready for drinking now - remarkable texture - rich and velvety with the hard tannin of youth having all fallen away. Luscious brambly fruit and obvious but well integrated oak structure. Long and delicious.
