At 24 hours, the fruit is trying to come out, but I think it needs a couple more years to open things up a bit more or pick up some power. This is an interesting style: It isn't fundamentally fruity; more toward the iron than the cherry or tar. Recently I discovered this iron flavor in a 1996 Pira Margheria, which was from a much more structured year than 2000. In the Pira case we had a lot more intensity and, perhaps with the extra age, the iron evolved into blood, truffle and blue cheese. This may be a lighter version of that.
[second try] Not nearly as good as the first. Fruit and extraction moderate, or else,just closed down. Much as I liked this before, I have to lower this a little.7,978 views
