Tenuta Stefan Likes this wine: 91 points
April 24, 2015 - Not a perfect bottle. Mid shoulder. Not stored under perfect conditions
Mature, brick colour. Still quite dense for its age.
Quite vital and lively bouquet. Mature earthy notes of meat, mushrooms, truffles, blood, leather, tobacco, stables and chocolate. Yes, there is some brett. But I like that and it gives an extra dimension to this wine that it needs.
Nice mouthfill. Smooth and elegant. Good mature flavours of meat, tobacco and leather. There is a residual sweetness in the back. This wine has a depth. Complex and layered. All parts in harmony, so good balance. Quite long finish. Even if the bottle wasn't in perfect shape it delivers. I want to get my hands on a bottle in good shape

If your bottle is in top shape, save it. If not, cork it up and enjoy!
